APPEAL FOR HVAR'S CATS

Published in Notices

Please help us to create healthy, happy cats on Hvar, without unwanted kittens and heartbreaking killings!

APPEAL FOR HVAR'S CATS

Maška Hvar and Eco Hvar have joined forces in our programme to give Hvar's free-living cats the chance of a fulfilled life without causing problems to residents and visitors. We have established feeding stations in various locations on the island, and there is an ongoing sterilization (Trap-Neuter-Return) programme. The sterilization programme is part-funded by the local authorities, but the allocated funds will soon run out. The feeding stations are managed by individuals and through donations to our organisations.

MUCH MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE, SO WE NEED MORE FUNDING:

1. to establish more feeding stations;

2. to provide food for the feeding stations;

3. to neuter the maximum number of street cats;

4. to cover veterinary fees for sick or injured cats.

GIFTS OF GOOD-QUALITY CAT FOOD ARE ALWAYS WELCOME

FINANCIAL HELP: DONATIONS CAN BE MADE TO OUR ACCOUNT

Please give us your contact details (email, address or whatsapp) so that we can acknowledge your gift. Eco Hvar is a non-profit Association.

  • Rich countries have lost enthusiasm for tackling climate crisis, says Cop30 chief

    Brazil’s André Corrêa do Lago says countries should follow China’s lead on clean energy as conference begins

    Rich countries have lost enthusiasm for combating the climate crisis while China is surging ahead in producing and using clean energy equipment, the president of the UN climate talks has said.

    More countries should follow China’s lead instead of complaining about being outcompeted, said André Corrêa do Lago, the Brazilian diplomat in charge of the Cop30 conference, which begins on Monday.

    Resulting pollution on Camber Sands beach poses threat to wildlife including dolphins and seals

    Southern Water has taken responsibility for the catastrophic spill of plastic biobeads that polluted the Sussex coastline.

    Local charities reported a huge spill of millions of biobeads over the weekend, washing up on beaches including Camber Sands. Andy Dinsdale, the founder of the plastic pollution campaign group Strandliners, said it was the worst pollution event he had seen.

  • ‘I used to be a bit naughty’: Portsmouth defied funding cuts and saved its youth centres – here’s what happened

    Two decades ago, the city’s council chose to prioritise playgrounds and youth clubs to help its poorer families – and the benefits are plain to see

    • Read more: Last youth centre in one of England’s most deprived coastal areas faces closure

    Three schoolboys in black sweatshirts dart from a wooden fort across a sandpit, weaving and jostling past prams, scooters and bystanders, after a pink football. A pony-tailed girl launches herself on to a moving roundabout, while a young man wrestles a half-naked toddler into a pair of training pants before she scampers off back to the sandpit in the autumn sunshine.

    This is Buckland adventure playground in Portsmouth, surrounded by trees and a mix of two-storey flats, terrace houses and tower blocks, mostly social housing built to replace the city’s demolished slums.

    Buckland adventure playground has now had three generations of children enjoying its facilities

  • Weather tracker: Typhoon Fung-Wong becomes second in a week to hit the Philippines

    Destructive winds and rainfall hit archipelago, while a cold spell in Florida prompts fears of falling iguanas

    Typhoon Fung-Wong, locally known as Uwan, is the second in a week to affect the Philippines after making landfall on Sunday evening. The weather system prompted warnings for heavy rainfall and life-threatening storm surges across much of the country, with sustained winds of 115mph (185km/h) and gusts of about 140mph recorded on Sunday by the national meteorological agency.

    By the time Fung-Wong moves past the Philippines early this week, more than 200mm of rainfall is expected to have fallen on Luzon, the country’s most populous island.

  • ‘The tigers are hungry’: endangered but deadly, the world’s largest big cat is sowing fear in Siberia’s villages

    The spread of African swine flu among the wild boars the animals eat has led to the deadliest winter for attacks on people in the Russian region for decades – and a spike in tiger killings

    The attacks seemed to come from nowhere. At first, the tigers snatched guard dogs on the edge of villages in Russia’s far east, emerging from the forest at night to prey. Others went for livestock, going after horses and cattle.

    Then the attacks on people began. In January, an ice fisher was mauled at night and dragged away by a big cat, just weeks after a forester had been killed. In March, another man was attacked and partly eaten by a tiger. It was the deadliest winter for tiger attacks in Siberia for decades.

  • Growth in global demand for ‘green’ office buildings slows amid Trump policies

    Fall reported by Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors as UN calls for accelerated action in buildings sector to meet global climate goals

    The growth in global demand for “green” office buildings has slowed after Donald Trump’s assault on environmental protection policies caused a slump in interest in the US, according to a survey of construction industry professionals.

    Building occupiers and investors across North America and South America expressed significantly lower growth in demand for green commercial buildings, a shift that “seems to be in response to a change in US policy focus”, according to a survey of members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics). Reported demand across the rest of the world also fell, albeit not as sharply.

  • Country diary: The muted beauty of moth-trapping in November | Susie White

    Allendale, Northumberland: It’s not too late to set the trap for some wonderful species – not least the remarkable angle shades moth

    Last night was forecast to be wet, but I set the moth trap anyway, hoping a temperature of 10C would encourage species that are active in November. Some moths can fly in the rain, thanks to the super-hydrophobicity of their wings, which are angled like sloping roofs, their microscopic scales the overlapping tiles so that water droplets simply roll off. Wind may be a problem for them, but rain isn’t.

    First I check the wall next to the trap and am delighted to find my first December moth of the season. Despite its name, I’m more likely to find the handsome Poecilocampa populi in November. I can tell this is a male from its resplendent antennae, comb‑shaped to increase the surface area with which to detect female pheromones at a great distance. A furry head like a Cossack hat, wings cloaked in charcoal grey and russet with cream cross lines, it is well insulated against the cold. My garden being close to woodland and, with their larvae feeding on broad-leaved trees, I’ve recorded December moths every winter since I’ve been sending data to the Garden Moth Scheme.

  • A new start after 60: I found my feet in midlife, became a park ranger at 85 – and retired happily at 100

    At 104, Betty Reid Soskin has had the most extraordinary life, from protest singing to civil rights activism to meeting the Obamas. She reflects on what it takes to stay strong and keep going

    Betty Reid Soskin was 92 when she first went viral and became, in effect, a rock star of the National Park Service. She was the oldest full-time national park ranger in the US – this was back in 2013; she’d become a ranger at 85 – but she had been furloughed along with 800,000 other federal employees during the government shutdown. News channels flocked to interview her. She was aggrieved not to be working, she told them; she had a job to do.

    “In a funny way, I suppose that started lots of things,” Soskin says. Her memoir, Sign My Name to Freedom, was published in 2018, and a documentary about her work, No Time to Waste, was released in 2020. Another film is in the works. Barack Obama called her “profoundly inspiring”. Annie Leibovitz photographed her. Glamour magazine named her woman of the year. Now, Reid Soskin is 104, and “all of whatever I was supposed to do, I’ve done”, she says.
