Voda bez tragova glifosata, ali nebriga za životinje bode oči!

Objavljeno u Ljubimci

Bilo je burno na Redovnoj skupštini Udruge "Eco Hvar" – za dobrobit ljudi, životinja i okoliša otoka Hvara, a koja se u posljednje vrijeme na nekoliko vrlo čitanih portala bavila prvenstveno temama vezanim za uporabu pesticida kako u javnom, tako i privatnom prostoru.

▪ Vezano uz uporabu raznih otrova od strane stanovništva moguće je djelovati raznim oblicima informiranja, stalno moramo predočavati dostupna saznanja o njihovoj štetnosti do kojih dolaze brojni znanstvenici u međunarodnim neovisnim institucijama. Dobra je vijest da voda iz javne slavine na jelšanskoj Pjaci ne sadrži ostatke glifosata, sastojaka koje sadrže brojni pesticidi – kazala je Vivian Grisogono, predsjednica Udruge.

Naime, lani su krajem ljeta uzeti uzorci vode iz slavine u Jelsi i poslani na analizu u jedan institut u Španjolskoj. Na veliko zadovoljstvo sada su primljeni rezultati koji pokazuju da su uzorci bez tragova glifosata. No, to nije znak da treba bez ikakvog ograničenja i nadalje koristiti sredstva s tim sastojkom, jer su nezavisni instituti EU izrazili ozbiljnju sumnju da su glifosati potencijalno kancerogeni. Srećom, zemljišta na otoku su još toliko živa da se za sada 'uspješno bore' s ostacima otrova. Nadajmo se da će tako biti i nadalje.

Odbačena štenad i mačke

▪ Tijekom prošle godine Udruga se skrbila i o životinjama, jer su ljudi na žalost u tri navrata iz svojih kuća izbacili po sedam štenaca. Pronašli su ih domaći ljudi ili stranci koji su o tome obavijestili Udrugu. Četvero štenaca završilo je u Pitvama, no dobra je vijest da su neki od njih sretno udomljeni, pa čak i u Njemačkoj. Nekoliko stranaca bilo je voljno udomiti ponekog psića, ali to jednostavno nije bilo moguće. Ako čovjek dođe na Hvar avionom i nastavi putovanje, ne možemo očekivati da će sa škoja ponijeti psića – rekla je Grisogono.

Inače, Udruga je uspostavila djelotvornu suradnju s azilom za napuštene životinje u Kaštel Sučurcu koji vrlo dobro vodi doktorica Vesna Filipović. Međutim, jedan od glavnih prioriteta i dalje je projekt izgradnje azila za napuštene pse i mačke na otoku Hvaru. Za tu namjenu Udruga je praktično osigurala zemljište koje je gotovo idealno, a u tijeku je i izrada projektne dokumentacije.

Lina (iz Vrbanja na Hvaru) je našla novi dom u Njemačkoj preko Azila u Kaštel Sučurcu.

Budući da Udruga sva sredstva za svoj rad osigurava isključivo putem donacija članovi vjeruju da će se napokon pronaći i izvori javnih sredstava za aktivnosti koje se tiču zaštite ljudi, okoliša i životinja.

  • Last summer was second worst for common UK butterflies since 1976

    More than half of Britain’s 59 native species are in long-term decline, UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme finds

    Last summer was the fifth worst in nearly half a century for butterflies in Britain, according to the biggest scientific survey of insect populations in the world.

    For the first time since scientific recording began in 1976, more than half of Britain’s 59 native species are in long-term decline.

  • A gentle giant: the shy wētāpunga is adept at living in the shadows

    New Zealand’s docile, solitary and elusive ‘god of ugly things’ does wonders for the forest-floor ecosystem

    Are you sick of throwing yourself on the altar of unrealistic beauty standards? Do you long to celebrate the delightfully monstrous, to give the spiny stuff of shadows their day in the sun? Then consider the mighty wētāpunga – an endemic New Zealand insect so revered for its unconventional beauty its name means “god of ugly things”.

    This forest behemoth is thought to be the heaviest adult insect in the world, with a female weighing as much as a mouse or a sparrow. Its body can grow up to 10cm long (nearly 4in) and its leg span can be as wide as 20cm. Once found across parts of the North Island, the vulnerable wētāpunga – the largest of 70 wētā species – now resides entirely on a smattering of predator-free islands near Auckland.

    Between 24 March and 2 April, we will be profiling a shortlist of 10 of the invertebrates chosen by readers and selected by our wildlife writers from more than 2,500 nominations. The voting for our 2025 invertebrate of the year will run from midday on Wednesday 2 April until midday on Friday 4 April, and the winner will be announced on Monday 7 April.

  • Wildlife groups express alarm at plan to ‘streamline’ UK environmental rules

    Government wants to spur economic growth and drive housebuilding but charities say nature should be priority

    Wildlife groups have expressed alarm after ministers promised a radically “streamlined” approach to UK environmental regulation intended to drive economic growth and speed up new housing, as well as major projects such as airports.

    While officials said the plans should boost nature conservation overall, the removal of what one called “bat by bat” decisions, a reference to the £100m bat shelter constructed for part of HS2, could water down individual protections.

  • Specieswatch: Sardines doing well around UK, but struggling in warmer waters

    Scientists say they are ingesting more microplastics in Mediterranean as the plankton they feed on struggle to survive in warming waters

    As the Latin name suggests, Sardina pilchardus can be called a sardine or a pilchard when it is tinned or offered on a fishmonger’s slab. One common definition is that if it is longer than 15cm it is called a pilchard and if smaller, a sardine.

    However, when pilchards fell out of favour with consumers, 15cm pilchards were rebranded as Cornish sardines and sales picked up again. To add to the confusion, other small silver fish are often passed off as sardines.

  • Country diary: At this time of year, the landscape is as pale as it gets | Nicola Chester

    Inkpen, Berkshire: All is accented by a bleached-out leaching of colour – before the green fuse of spring ignites and rushes through everything

    Just before the land turns green in the chalky downlands, it goes as pale as it gets. As the earth warms and dries, the seed-drilled arable fields look as if they are spread with fresh breadcrumbs. The ruts harden and the rain-dark mud down the centre and the sides of the lanes greys and lightens to a crumbly, scuffable chalk dust that drifts in eddies and whitens everything further.

    The pasture has a thatch of winter-weathered grass, and its split-wood colour is taken up by the raffia ribbons of spent bryony laced through the hedges, and the needle-fine forest of cleaver stems reaching up from the bottom. All is accented by a bleached-out leaching of colour before the green fuse of spring ignites and rushes through everything. It’s time to harrow and roll.

  • RHS develops ‘robust lawn’ that works for people, pollinators and pets

    Full of clovers and dandelions, with a hard-wearing rye grass, the approach is environmentally friendly and usable

    Is there a perfect formula for a hard-wearing flower lawn that is good for pollinators, dogs and people?

    The immaculately mown green has fallen out of favour in recent years owing to its lack of support for biodiversity. But there have also been complaints about the tall wildflower meadows that grow during “no mow May” and are less usable for humans and pets.

  • An elusive worm: the Salinella is shrouded in mystery

    A 19th-century zoologist found the ‘little salt dweller’, which could be a portal to the past – if only we could locate it again

    Last February, with colleagues Gert and Philipp and my daughter Francesca, I made the long journey to an unremarkable city called Río Cuarto, east of the Argentinian Andes. We went in search of a worm of unusual distinction.

    Why a worm? As humans, we naturally love the animals that are most familiar. But from a zoologist’s point of view, the vertebrates, from mammals and birds to frogs and fish, can be seen as variations on a single theme. We all have a head at one end (with skull, eyes and jaws); in the middle, a couple of pairs of limbs (a goldfish’s fins, or your arms and legs); and, holding all this together, a backbone ending in a tail.

  • ‘It’s horrible’: one month in, the Birmingham bin strike is causing a real stink

    Locals are feeling the impact of the more than 17,000 tonnes of uncollected rubbish in the city’s streets

    “I’m afraid to open my front door, they’re everywhere,” said Mary Dore, eyeing the ground outside her house in Balsall Heath suspiciously. “They run out from under the cars when you get in, they’re going in the engines. They chewed through the cables in my son’s car, costing him god knows how much.

    “There’s one street I can’t walk my dog because they come running out of the grass and the piles of rubbish. One time I screamed.”

  • ‘The ice is not freezing as it should’: supply roads to Canada’s Indigenous communities under threat from climate crisis

    Northern Ontario is seeing a ‘shorter window’ for ice roads that deliver vital supplies to remote First Nations

    At first there was no answer on the satellite phone. But on the third call, Donald Meeseetawageesic heard his sister’s voice. “We need somebody to come and tow us out,” he told her.

    It was a warmer-than-normal night in early March and Meeseetawageesic, the elected band councillor for Eabametoong First Nation, was stranded in a 4x4 truck on the dark winter road leading to his community. The tyres were stuck in the deep snow and the temperature outside was below freezing. Help was about 60km (37 miles) away.

  • ‘The ultimate circular economy’: how coral holobionts conjure magnificence from nothing

    These creatures evolved over millenia to create nature’s finest circular economy, but are now struggling to survive

    There’s no preparing for a first encounter with a thriving coral reef: your attention ricochets between dramas of colour, form and movement. A blaze of fire coral, darting clown fish, crimson sponge, electric blue ray … a turtle! Your heart soars, your head spins. Nowhere else will you encounter such density and diversity of life.

    Corals are the architects of all this splendour. Their immobile forms suggest plants, but they’re animals – solar-powered ones. Each is a colony of thousands, sometimes millions, of tiny coral polyps, each resembling a slimmed-down sea anemone, just millimetres tall.

    Between 24 March and 2 April, we will be profiling a shortlist of 10 of the invertebrates chosen by readers and selected by our wildlife writers from more than 2,500 nominations. The voting for our 2025 invertebrate of the year will run from midday on Wednesday 2 April until midday on Friday 4 April, and the winner will be announced on Monday 7 April.
