ECO HVAR UDRUGA ZA DOBROBIT LJUDI, OKOLIŠA I ŽIVOTINJA

Dobrodošli na internet stranice Eco Hvara.

Otok Hvar, na dalmatinskoj obali u Hrvatskoj, jedan je od najljepših mjesta na svijetu - izgleda kao raj na Zemlji. Otočani se već odavno hvale čistim zrakom i morem, netaknutom prirodom i zdravim načinom života temeljenog na dobroj prehrani i boravku na zraku.

Turizam je glavna ekonomska aktivnost otoka. Grad Hvar osnovao je prvu profesionalnu turističku organizaciju u Europi kada je osnovano Higijeničko društvo Hvar, davne 1868. godine, pod vodstvom Biskupa Juraja Dubokovića. Cilj društva bio je privući goste kojima bi koristile blagodati klime, posebice blaga zima i čisti zrak. Ovi “zdravstveni” turisti dobro su bili zbrinuti u svakom pogledu, s dobrom hranom i zdravim aktivnostima. Oni su napravili temelje kontinuiranog uspjeha hvarske turističke industrije. Tijekom godina stil turizma se promijenio. Osnova otočkih atrakcija ostao je isti. Mnogi i dalje posjećuju ili dolaze kako bi uživali u čistom zraku, moru i selu. Nitko nije razočaran njegovom prirodom ljepotom. Postoje i druge atrakcije - uz bogatu i šarenu povijest otoka te njegovu kulturnu baštinu ne smijemo zaboraviti dobru hranu i visoko kvalitetna vina.

Ipak, otok nije savršen. Određeni aspekti se mogu i morali bi se promijeniti. Na otoku je iznenađujuće visok broj bolesti povezanih s pušenjem i lošom prehranom, kao što su dijabetes tipa 2, bolesti srca i pluća. Liječnici imaju posla sa smetnjama vezanim uz štitnjaču i hormone, osobito kod mladih djevojaka te rakom kod svih dobnih skupina. To su pokazatelji da otočani trebaju bolje shvatiti zdrave životne navike a isto tako i osvijestiti ih o posljedicama korištenja kemijskih pesticida i gnojiva.

Način na koji se postupa sa životinjama, ljubitelji istih također smatraju razlogom za zabrinutost. Na otoku ne postoji objekt za spašavanje životinja a skloništa za pse i mačke hitno su potrebna kako bi se osigurala pravilna skrb za potrebite životinje.

Registrirana, neprofitna, dobrotvorna udruga Eco Hvar osnovana je 2013. godine kako bi unaprijedila uvjete ljudima, životinjama i okolišu. Detalje o ciljevima udruge u svim kategorijamamožete pročitati klikom na ove poveznice: Okoliš, Zdravlje, Životinje.

Sveobuhvatni ideal jest stvoriti istinski zemaljski raj na čudesnom otoku Hvaru.

Eco Hvar sa zadovoljstvom surađuje s istomišljenim organizacijama te je član PAN Europe i LAG Škoji, te podržava Zemljane staze - Earth Trek (Facebook stranica), Održivi otok, Dignitea i Pokret otoka.

  • More than half of Britain’s butterfly species in decline, monitoring scheme shows

    Warmer weather has benefited some species in Britain, but others that rely on specific plants or habitats have struggled

    “Insectageddon” has not occurred, but there has been a loss of butterfly diversity over the past half a century, according to the world’s largest insect monitoring scheme.

    More than 44m butterfly sightings scientifically collected in Britain since 1976 show that of the 58 native species recorded, 33 species have declined and 25 have increased in number.

  • Ant smuggler sentenced to a year in jail by Kenyan court

    More than 2,200 ants were found in Zhang Kequn’s luggage at Nairobi airport, with baggage destined for China

    A Chinese national has been sentenced to a year in prison and fined by a Nairobi court for attempting to smuggle thousands of ants out of Kenya, a lucrative trade in east Africa that was exposed last year.

    The insects are mostly destined for China, the US and Europe, where they become pets and can be worth about $100 each.

  • Sperm whales’ communication closely parallels human language, study finds

    Analysis shows whales’ coda vocalizations are ‘highly complex’ and remarkably similar to our own

    We may appear to have little in common with sperm whales – enormous, ocean-dwelling animals that last shared a common ancestor with humans more than 90 million years ago. But the whales’ vocalized communications are remarkably similar to our own, researchers have discovered.

    Not only do sperm whale have a form of “alphabet” and form vowels within their vocalizations but the structure of these vowels behaves in the same way as human speech, the new study has found.

  • Run the dishwasher, plug in the car: how Great Britain plans to use record wind and solar power

    With a summer glut on cards, customers are being urged to use more energy when renewables are abundant

    Great Britain is on the brink of a record-breaking summer for renewable energy, which could lead to the first periods of zero-carbon electricity in the history of the power system.

    These green milestones are an important step towards the government’s goal of creating a 95% gas-free grid by 2030 to power the electric vehicles, heat pumps and greener factories that will help the UK to reach its climate goals.

  • $30m an hour: big oil reaping huge war windfall from consumers, analysis finds

    Exclusive: Climate action blockers including Saudi Arabia, Russia and major fossil fuel firms set to make extra $234bn by end of 2026

    The world’s top 100 oil and gas companies banked more than $30m every hour in unearned profit in the first month of the US-Israeli war in Iran, according to exclusive analysis for the Guardian. Saudi Aramco, Gazprom and ExxonMobil are among the biggest beneficiaries of the bonanza, meaning key opponents of climate action continue to prosper.

    The conflict pushed the price of oil to an average of $100 (£74) a barrel in March, leading to estimated windfall war profits for the month of $23bn for the companies. Oil and gas supplies will take months to return to pre-war levels and the companies will make $234bn by the end of the year if the oil price continues to average $100. The analysis uses data from a leading intelligence provider, Rystad Energy, analysed by Global Witness.

  • Cuba could beat US energy blockade with $8bn investment in renewables, says thinktank

    Report by Common Wealth argues rest of the world should pay for country’s transition as reparative climate finance

    Cuba could beat the US’s crippling energy blockade for ever with just an $8bn investment in renewable energy. And the rest of the world should pay for it.

    Those are the bold claims of a thinktank analysis of the embattled socialist republic’s energy policy, which claims that Cuba could show its Caribbean neighbours the way to a green energy future.

  • After 1,200 years, cherry blossom record to live on despite Japanese scientist’s death

    Prof Yasuyuki Aono’s meticulous work charted shifting bloom dates as a marker of climate change

    Even in his final months, he counted the days until the cherry blossoms. Prof Yasuyuki Aono of Osaka Metropolitan University spent his career gathering data on the spring flowering dates of cherry trees in Japan in what is one of the world’s longest climate records tracking a seasonal occurrence.

    Using sources dating as far back as the 9th century, he revealed that cherry tree flowerings have occurred progressively earlier in recent decades – a now famous marker of climate change.

  • Chiang Mai’s New Year revelry hit by smog and war-related price spikes

    Air pollution caused by wildfires is another blow to northern Thailand’s tourism industry as businesses suffer amid war in Iran

    The Doi Suthep temple in northern Thailand is known for its spectacular views of Chiang Mai and the lush forested mountains that surround it. Over recent weeks, though, visitors can see little of the city beyond a thick cloud of grey haze.

    Persistent wildfires have caused intense air pollution across the north of Thailand, forcing three provinces to declare emergencies and triggering spikes in pollution-related illnesses.

  • Inside a jubilant DC conference where ‘the climate deniers are in charge now’

    Trump’s EPA chief Lee Zeldin’s presence shows how much influence climate deniers now have, experts say

    As scientists confirmed that March was the United States’ most abnormally hot month in recorded history, dozens of climate deniers gathered to promote misinformation and tout their newfound influence on federal policy.

    At a conference hosted by the prominent science-denying thinktank the Heartland Institute last week, a crowd of mostly middle-aged men in suits claimed the world is finally waking up to the idea that the climate crisis does not exist.

  • America’s hiking culture is built on ego

    From peak-bagging to thru-hiking, Americans have turned traversing land into personal milestones. This wilderness ranger and Indigenous writer has witnessed it firsthand

    You are walking in our old homeland

    After spending 12 years backpacking some of America’s wildest trails as a wilderness ranger for the US Forest Service – and then losing that job to politics – last spring I set out for the Appalachian Trail (AT), the longest hiking-only footpath in the world.
