I kitea i roto i tētahi rangahau i te tāone tuawhenua o Goondiwindi, Queensland, ko te para miro kua haehaea hei hanga i ngā māra miro he mea whai hua ki te oneone, engari kāore he pānga kino. Ā, ka taea hoki te whakarato hua ki te hauora o te oneone, me te otinga whānui ki te raruraru nui o te para miro o te ao.
He whakamātautau 12-marama te roa o tētahi kaupapa pāmu miro, i raro i te tirotiro a ngā tohunga ōhanga porowhita a Coreo, he mahi tahi i waenganui i te Kāwanatanga o Kuīnirani, a Goondiwindi Cotton, a Sheridan, a Cotton Australia, a Worn Up, me te Cotton Research and Development Corporation i tautoko i te kaipūtaiao oneone a Tākuta Oliver Knox o UNE.
Tata ki te 2 tana o ngā kakahu miro kua mutu te ora mai i a Sheridan me te Kāwanatanga o te Ratonga Āwhina i whakahaerea ki Worn Up i Poihākena, i haria ki te pāmu 'Alcheringa', ā, i horahia ki runga i te māra miro e te kaiahuwhenua o te rohe, a Sam Coulton.
E tautoko ana ngā hua o te whakamātautau i te whakamahinga o aua para hei whakamahi mā ngā mara miro i hauhaketia mai ai, kaua hei whenua ururua, heoi, me mahi anō ngā hoa kaupapa i tā rātou mahi i te wā miro 2022-23 hei whakamana i ēnei kitenga tuatahi.
I mea atu a Tākuta Oliver Knox, UNE (i tautokona e te Cotton Research and Development Corporation) me tētahi kaipūtaiao oneone i tautoko i te umanga miro, "I te iti rawa i whakaatuhia e te whakamātautau kāore he kino i pā ki te hauora o te oneone, me te pikinga paku o te mahi moroiti, ā, i whakaitihia te iti rawa 2,070 kg o te hauhā waro (CO2e) mā te wawahi i ēnei kākahu ki te oneone, kaua ki te whenua ururua."
"I hurihia e te whakamātautau te rua tāne o ngā para kakahu mai i te whenua ururua, kāore he pānga kino ki te whakato miro, te puāwaitanga, te tipu, te kotinga rānei. I noho pumau tonu ngā taumata waro o te oneone, ā, i pai te urupare a ngā pepeke o te oneone ki te rauemi miro i tāpirihia. Te āhua nei kāore he pānga kino mai i ngā tae me ngā whakaotinga ahakoa me nui ake ngā whakamātautau ki te whānuitanga o ngā matū kia tino mōhio ai koe ki tēnā," te tāpiri a Knox.
E ai ki a Sam Coulton, i ngāwari noa te 'horomi' e tētahi kaimahi miro o te rohe i te miro kua haehaea, ā, i whakawhirinaki ai ia ki tēnei tikanga whakawairakau mō te wā roa.
I mea atu a Sam Coulton, "I horahia e mātou te para kakahu miro i ētahi marama i mua i te whakato miro i te Pipiri 2021, ā, i te marama o Hānuere me waenganui o te wā kua tata ngaro katoa te para miro, ahakoa te tere o te 50 tana ki te heketea."
"Kāore au e tumanako kia kite i ngā whakapainga o te hauora o te oneone, o te hua rānei mō te iti rawa i te rima tau, nā te mea me roa te wā e kohia ai ngā painga, engari i tino whakatenatenahia ahau kāore he pānga kino ki ō mātou oneone. I ngā wā o mua kua horahia e mātou te para miro ki ētahi atu wāhanga o te pāmu, ā, kua kite mātou i ngā whakapainga nui o te kaha pupuri makuku i runga i ēnei mara, nō reira e tumanakohia ana ko te mea anō mā te whakamahi i ngā para miro kua haehaea," te tāpiri a Coulton.
Ka whakarei ake te tīma kaupapa o Ahitereiria i ā rātou mahi inaianei kia kitea ai ngā huarahi pai rawa atu hei mahi tahi. Ā, e whakapau kaha ana te Cotton Research and Development Corporation ki te tautoko i tētahi kaupapa rangahau whakakōmipiuta kakahu miro e toru tau te roa nā Te Whare Wānanga o Newcastle, ka tūhuratia hoki ngā hua o ngā tae me ngā whakaotinga, me ngā huarahi hoki hei whakapūpū i ngā kakahu miro kia taea ai te horapa ki ngā mara mā te whakamahi i ngā mīhini pāmu o nāianei.
