Luki je pronašao prve orhideje!

Luki je jedan od najsretnijih pasa otoka Hvara i jedan od najvećih hvarskih ljubitelja prirode. 15. ožujka nanjušio je rane orhideje nedaleko od Vrboske.

Luki je uvijek u potrazi za lijepim cvijećem a rani ožujak je vrijeme kada skromno cvijeće počne pokazivati svoje boje. Uočivši 6. ožujka na svojim šetnjama diskretne biljke Iris tuberosa, uživao je i na livadi divljih cvjetova prepunu divljih anenima.

8. ožujka odlučio je da će savršen poklon damama za Međunarodni dan žena biti divlje šparoge - kuhanjem će imati što činiti!

Zatim je 15. ožujka po prvi put ove godine opazio orhideju.

Frank Verhart, ljubitelj orhideja, još nam je jednom vrlo ljubazno napravio identifikaciju:  “pretpostavio bih da je ovo Ophrys liburnica s obzirom da je ovo jedna od najranijih vrsta. Jedna fotografija prikazuje visoku biljku u punom cvatu sredinom ožujka. Ovo samo po sebi gotovo isključuje ostale vrste. Kada sam 2015. prolazio pored Vrboske, primijetio sam da je ovo jedna od učestalijih vrsta u tom području. Ophrys liburnica opisana je 2004. godine i prethodno smatrana običnim Ophrys sfegodama (rana Kokica paučica) koji se pojavljuju sjeverno do Engleske (litice Dover).

Pišući dok pandemija gripe Covid-19 zahvaća Europu i zaustavlja sve društvene i komercijalne aktivnosti, Franka rastužuje šteta koju ljudi nanose planetu te općeniti nedostatak brige za prirodu i divlje životinje. Nije jedini. U mjestima i gradovima situacija je za mnoge gotovo nepodnošljiva. Na Hvaru je kriza zahvatila stanovništvo, ali u manjoj mjeri, jer je prostora više a ljudi je manje. Otočani su osobito ponosni načinom na koji se ministar zdravstva, Dr. Vili Beroš, rodom iz Jelse, nosi s krizom uvodeći logične (i stroge) kontrolne mjere istovremeno zadržavajući mirnoću dok je posve realan i otvoren glede neizbježnog širenja bolesti. Tijekom Domovinskog rata 1991.-1995. godine, Dr. Beroš, tada mladi neurokirurg, pokazivao je jednake kvalitete predanosti i humanosti prema velikom broju ozbiljno bolesnih i ranjenih pacijenata bolnice sestara Milosrdnica u Zagrebu. Njegovo imenovanje ministrom zdravstva došlo je u pravo vrijeme jer je zasigurno spasio Hrvatsku od nekih od najgorih učinaka virusa Covid-19 iako se širenje istog ne može zaustaviti.

Uz pokoju žestoku oluju, početak 2020. godine na Hvaru uglavnom je bio blag, pružajući smirenu atmosferu kao protutežu bilo kakvoj panici koja se uzdizala kako se pandemija bližila. Sunce sja a proljetna ljepota otoka neprestano se razvija. Luki istražuje hvarska sela, igrajući se s najboljim prijateljima i suputnicima Špirom i Đurom, istovremeno ukazujući na velike darove prirode.

Ovo je doba godine kada se Hvar može doživjeti u njegovom najboljem izdanju, što Luki itekako zna!

Stijene na hvarskim padinama vrlo se jasno ističu.

 Za pogled na hvarsko more treba se malo namučiti. Luki se snalazi u svom naumu i živi dan po dan, ali možda, samo možda, želi i nada se da će ljetno kupanje ubrzo biti dio dnevnog programa!

Izrazito smo zahvalni Lukiju i njegovom dvonožnom “roditelju” Ivici što dijele svoje sretne trenutke s nama i ostatkom svijeta. Lukijev blistavi osmjeh osvijetli i najmračniji dan za što je uvelike zaslužna ljubaznost i briga koju mu je Ivica pružio od trenutka kada ga je spasio života na lancu.

  • ‘A sobering preview’: extreme heat now affects one in three people globally, study finds

    Rising temperatures making it hard even for young, healthy people to safely do normal physical tasks in many regions

    Climate breakdown is shrinking the amount of time that people can safely go about their lives, according to a study that shows a third of the world’s population now resides in areas where heat severely limits activity.

    Rising temperatures, driven by the continued burning of fossil fuels, are making it difficult even for many young, healthy adults to do basic physical activities, such as housework or walking up stairs during daylight hours at the height of the summer, the report warns.

  • Bombing of Iran’s oil infrastructure to have major environmental fallout, experts warn

    Monitors admit they are struggling to keep track of the environmental disasters arising from widening war

    Israel’s bombing of Iran’s oil infrastructure will have major long-term environmental repercussions, experts have warned, as monitors admitted they were struggling to keep track of the environmental disasters arising from the widening war.

    Even as Iranians filled the streets to mark the appointment of a new supreme leader, the Shahran oil depot north-east of Tehran and the Shahr-e fuel depot to its south continued to burn on Monday, two days after they were bombed by Israeli warplanes.

  • Testing the waters: can pumping chemicals into the ocean help stop global heating?

    To some it was a reckless experiment but scientists hope the dispersal of 65,000 litres of sodium hydroxide into the Gulf of Maine could ease the climate crisis

    For four days last August, a thick slick of maroon bruised the waters of the Gulf of Maine. The scene, not unlike a toxic red tide, was the result of 65,000 litres of an alkaline chemical, tagged with a red dye, that had been deliberately pumped by scientists into the ocean.

    Though it sounds perverse, the event was part of a scientific experiment that could advance a technology to combat both global heating and ocean acidification. Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE), as the approach is called, acts like natural weathering, but on human – rather than geological – timescales.

  • Country diary: Orchids, plums and pine cones – all bursting out of cathedral walls | Nic Wilson

    St Albans Cathedral, Hertfordshire:The chapel here is a wonderful curiosity, thanks to its restoration by a green-fingered Victorian sculptor

    All’s quiet in the Lady Chapel, sheltered from the bustle of the city by thick limestone walls of Totternhoe clunch, quarried just a few miles north-west in Bedfordshire.

    But though I’m aware of being alone in a vast vaulted space, when I look at the stonework, I feel surrounded by the echoes of women who’ve stood here before me and left their legacy on the chapel walls.

  • Help a toad across the road – and five more ways to save these endangered amphibians

    Britain’s toads have begun their spring migration, putting them at even greater risk than usual. Here’s how – and why – we should look after them

    There’s a touch of old magic about toads, those shapeshifters of myth, superstition and folklore. Charismatic creatures with the pleasing Latin binomial bufo bufo, common toads have astonishing copper- or gold-coloured eyes and rugged, textured skin. “People say they look warty, which I’ve always thought is a bit unfair,” says Dr Silviu Petrovan, a conservationist and toad population researcher.

    More prosaically, toads are great for your garden. “We say toads are a gardener’s best friend, because they eat all the pests,” says Jenny Tse-Leon, the head of conservation and impact at the British amphibian charity Froglife. Their spring migration is a dramatic event, during which hundreds of thousands of animals travel back to their ancestral breeding ponds. “Like the wildebeest of the Serengeti,” says Tse-Leon. “They’re just a lot smaller than wildebeest.” The males “piggyback” on potential partners: “You see them riding on the female’s back to get a lift to the pond.”

  • Large tortoiseshell butterfly confirmed no longer extinct in UK

    Early spring sightings show colourful insect is a resident species for first time in decades, says conservation charity

    The large tortoiseshell – an elusive and enigmatic butterfly that became extinct in Britain in the last century – is a UK resident species once again, with a flurry of early spring sightings.

    Britain’s list of native butterflies has increased to 60 with the return of the insect after individuals emerged from hibernation in woodlands in Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Dorset, Cornwall and the Isle of Wight.

  • Countries can rewild borders to deter invasions, says EU environment chief

    Jessika Roswall cites Poland and Finland, which have made border areas near Russia or its allies ‘more hostile’ to cross

    Countries should look to rewild their land borders as a deterrence to invasion and build up other geographical defences to attack, Europe’s environment chief has said.

    Jessika Roswall, the EU’s commissioner for the environment, water resilience and a competitive circular economy, said nature should be used to improve national security. “Investing in nature and using nature as a natural border control is necessary, and actually increases biodiversity. It’s a win-win,” she said.

  • ‘It feels like a seed has been planted’: Morecambe looks to Eden Project for revival

    Young people hope green light to build eco attraction’s northern outpost will change theirs and the town’s fortunes

    In the Lancashire coastal town of Morecambe, there has been talk of Eden Project’s futuristic biomes being built beside the shoreline overlooking the bay for a decade.

    But this summer, spades will finally break ground to make the project a reality, with the visitor attraction expected to open in less than two years.

  • ‘Everyone feels like they are being scammed’: can Central America’s small coffee growers survive as global prices fall?

    Family-run farms in El Salvador and Honduras face mounting losses, rising costs – and the need to adapt or be left behind

    On a steep hillside in western El Salvador, Oscar Leiva watches rainfall in December, a month that once marked the start of the dry season. During this harvest cycle, flowering came early and then stalled. A heatwave followed. What remains of the crop is uneven, lower in quality and more expensive to produce than the last.

    For Leiva and his family, coffee has never been just a crop. His mother, Esperanza Marinero, remembers when the rains arrived on schedule and the harvest could be planned months in advance. Today, the calendar no longer holds. Decisions about pruning, fertilising and hiring labour feel like educated guesses. Each mistake carries a cost the family cannot afford.

  • Pay per view: Victoria wants to charge visitors to see the Twelve Apostles – will it become like Stonehenge?

    Like Stonehenge, the Australian coastal landmark is first seen from a busy highway – and locals warn charging a fee for safe viewing could make existing congestion worse

    How much is a view worth? The Victorian public is asking itself that question after the state government announced on Monday that it would impose visitor fees on one of its most spectacular landmarks, the Twelve Apostles.

    Bookings would be required and a fee payable for parking and access to the $126m Twelve Apostles Visitor Centre, the gateway to the main viewing decks for the famous sea stacks – columns of remnant rock from the eroded Victorian coastline, visible along the winding, 240km-long Great Ocean Road.
