Što je inspiriralo ECO HVAR za okoliš

Bird Names

Objavljeno u Okoliš

Names in English and Croatian of birds commonly seen on Hvar, together with the scientific names. 

Divljem cvijeću na Hvaru moguće se veseliti cijele godine. Čak tijekom najgore zime, teško da može proći tjedan, a da plamteće boje ne osvijetle ruralni dio otoka, što je u kontrastu s kamenitim i tamno zelenim, šumovitim dijelom otoka.

Dobro zdravlje ovisi o čistom zraku, vodi i okolišu. Otok Hvar je savršeno situiran da bi ponudio sve te blagodati. Dobar dio otoka je nezagađen. Međutim, stvari nisu savršene ni u ni na zemlji.

Na engleskom jeziku GBH je skraćenica za tešku tjelesnu ozljedu (Grievous Bodily Harm), kazneno djelo prema britanskome zakonu. To je i skraćenica za herbicide na bazi glifosata (glyphosate-based herbicides).

2015.godiner, nizozemac i ljubitelj orhideja Frank Verhart je posjetio Hvar i Brač da bi bilježio orhideje na tim otocima. Ovaj tekst od novinara Mirka Crnčevića je objavljen u Slobodnoj Dalmaciji 25/04/2015., i reproduciran ovdje uz dozovlu.

The Romans knew how to build, and they knew how to choose the best sites for their building. Diocletian's Palace in Split is a prime and well-preserved example. New discoveries in and around the Palace in recent years have brought about a major revision of the history of this magnificent Late Antique building project.

Organski uzgoj - je li uopće moguć? DA! Isplati li se? DA! Mihovil Stipišić iz Vrboske to dokazuje vlastitim primjerom.

Zaštita biljaka od gljivičnih oboljenja ili napada štetoćina vrši se iskljućivo sa biljnim srestvima. Bitno je da se biljke prskaju preventivno ili najkasnije kad se uoće prva oboljenja. Plodovi se jasno mogu i odmah jesti nakon prskanja.

Kako smanjiti kučni otpad - do nule?! Sve je moguće, samo treba krenuti, mic po mic.

  • State of the Climate report finds Earth’s energy has moved dangerously out of balance, with oceans absorbing vast majority of trapped heat

    Our home planet is struggling with a record energy imbalance, which is warming oceans to unprecedented levels, making weather more extreme and threatening health and food supplies, the World Meteorological Organization has warned.

    The United Nations body confirmed 2015 to 2025 were the hottest 11 years ever measured, but a still bleaker message was that the rising temperature experienced by humans on the surface was only 1% of the faster-accumulating heat in the wider Earth system.

  • Rathlin Island in Northern Ireland is ferret-free after £4.5m five-year partnership led by RSPB NI

    Predatory feral ferrets have been removed from an island for the first time ever, in a boost for Northern Ireland’s largest seabird colony.

    Rathlin Island is ferret-free after a £4.5m five-year partnership led by RSPB NI involving islanders, charities, volunteers and a red labrador called Woody.

  • Residents reported headaches, eye and skin irritation and breathing difficulties as Israeli bombings blanketed Tehran with pollutants

    Satellite images of Tehran show toxic fires caused by Israeli bombings on oil depots were still burning days after the strikes, which have caused fears of serious health complications for millions of residents in the Iranian capital.

    Clouds of smoke from bombings on 7 March on multiple facilities blanketed the city with pollutants ranging from soot to oil particles to sulphur dioxide. Hours later, a passing storm showered Tehran with poisonous, oil-filled rain.

  • Survivors describe how rangers and staff were targeted by an armed group during a raid on DRC’s national park earlier this month

    Nearby Congolese soldiers had received warnings of the attack in the morning. But the soldiers did not arrive until late in the evening, long after the killings were over.

    It happened before dawn on Tuesday 3 March, as a dozen rangers at Upemba national park headquarters were being briefed by their commander before the day’s routine anti-poaching patrol. At 5.40am machine-gun fire began to rattle out of the surrounding darkness.

  • Mwnt, Ceredigion: There are many isolated spots along this stretch of coastline. On a rare sunny day, I take a walk to one of them

    Looking south from the low cliffs of Gwbert, the steep rock stacks beyond the mouth of the Afon Teifi are blurred by an early haze. Below me, a fishing boat heads out to check on the crab pots that dot the coast, pursued by an intent gathering of gulls. To the west, as the shadows harden, the low whale-back of Cardigan Island is marked by curved bands of tightly folded rock – the ancient, resilient Ordovician geology that forms the spine of this coast. Somewhere above me, a skylark burbles its tangled thread of song in the morning sun.

    Heading north, the high coastal plain drops suddenly away to reveal the beach at Mwnt, backed by the steep, isolated hill which gives it its name. This is a special, favoured place – one to return to at intervals. Today the blue sky, so rarely seen in recent weeks, hangs like a dome over the pale foam of the shoreline, and the sunlight picks out the stark white rendered form of Eglwys y Grog – Holy Cross church – a tiny chapel hunched in the shelter of the hillside. The stone-bounded churchyard is home to a pair of stonechats that flit between gravestone perches with their characteristic call – which is uncannily like two pebbles being snicked together.

  • There are flooding rains in Hawaii, rare snow in Alabama and a severe heatwave in the west coast

    The US is experiencing a striking mix of weather extremes this March. Flooding rains in Hawaii, rare snow in Alabama, flip-flopping temperatures in the north-east and, perhaps most concerning, a severe heatwave affecting the west coast are raising questions about how strange these patterns really are, and what role the climate crisis is playing.

    Experts suggested that people around the US need to pay closer attention to the climatecrisis and do what they can to “minimize the impacts”.

  • The whole ecosystem inside a cave feeds off guano, dead bats, or any dead animals on the ground. It’s not for the faint-hearted

    It can be daunting entering a cave. It is an underground world that possibly hasn’t been explored before. The first smell that hits you is guano (or bat poo). Some of these caves host millions of bats – you can hear them chirping above, hanging in the darkness, and occasionally flying around. It always seems like night-time inside a cave because it’s pitch black.

    The walls are covered in interesting creatures such as tailless whip scorpions, which look like a cross between a spider and crab (they look dangerous, but are not), as well as millipedes and centipedes. The whole ecosystem feeds off guano, dead bats, or any dead animals on the ground. It’s not for the faint-hearted.

  • Animals will feature on £5, £10, £20 and £50 notes, the Bank of England says, but which creatures should make the cut?

    Native British wildlife will feature on the next set of £5, £10, £20 and £50 notes, the Bank of England has announced, but it has yet to be decided which creatures will make the cut.

    While politicians from Nigel Farage to Ed Davey have sought to confect outrage about ditching Winston Churchill and Jane Austen for badgers or blackbirds, public consultations by the Bank show that people favour the switch to wildlife. Regularly changing images on the notes is a measure to foil counterfeiters.

  • Asking for coffee in a reusable cup or reusing shopping bags is second nature for many, but bringing your own containers for takeaway can take getting used to. Here are some tips to get started

    Before the advent of cheap, single-use take away packaging, legend has it that Australian families used to bring saucepans to their local Chinese restaurant to pick up their Friday night take-out. Until the early 1980s, when concerns about ink contamination outlawed it, fish and chips came wrapped in old newspapers.

    These days, Australians’ love affair with caffeine has made reusable coffee cups ubiquitous, and most of us have a stack of tupperware at home for school lunches. Yet fronting up to the salad bar or deli counter with your own container still feels a bit weird.

  • In Denmark, the spread of solar panels has become a divisive issue among voters, especially in rural areas

    In one telling of the story, the golden fields of a proud farming nation are under attack. Besieged by an industrial sprawl of solar panels, they are being smothered at the behest of an urban elite.

    That narrative has failed to thrive in conservative heartlands such as Texas and Hungary, which have embraced solar power while lambasting green rules. But it is taking root in Denmark, the most climate-ambitious nation on Earth. “We say yes to fields of wheat,” said Inger Støjberg, the leader of the rightwing populist Denmark Democrats in a speech in 2024. “And we say no to fields of iron!”
