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.

  • ‘An equal and habitable world is possible’: academics set out sweeping vision for planetary survival

    Global report provides an alternative to climate breakdown, political extremism and economic tensions

    • ‘Happiness is not just about GDP’: ambitious plan or utopia?

    Humanity can raise living standards, reduce inequality and keep global heating within a 2C rise, according to a sweeping vision for planetary survival.

    The report by the World Inequality Lab (WIL) aims to be the most comprehensive attempt yet to navigate the polycrisis that is pushing the world toward climate breakdown, political extremism and ever greater economic and social tension.

  • England’s poorest areas face deepest cuts to green space under planning law changes, report finds

    Exclusive: New loopholes for developers will exacerbate extreme disparities across country, charity coalition warns

    The poorest and most nature-deprived communities in England will be further left behind in their access to green spaces if proposed changes to planning laws go ahead, a report finds.

    More than 7.4 million people in England live in areas completely devoid of immediate biodiversity, including 1.4 million children under 15, the report commissioned by a number of wildlife and environmental NGOs says.

  • ‘This is not a hippy thing’: the startup recycling urine to make natural fertiliser

    As recent conflicts expose vulnerability of fertiliser markets and its effect on food security, VunaNexus offers an alternative

    When staff answer the call of nature at the European Space Agency’s headquarters in Paris, their urine is not simply flushed away – it is turned into something much more useful. While urine-diverting toilets are often associated with smelly festival loos, there is nothing bohemian about recycling nutrients from human pee, said David de Chambrier, the chief executive of VunaNexus.

    The process isn’t so different from recovering minerals in used electronics.

  • ‘Good lord, what a smell’: can Brazil’s biggest city save a vital source of water from sewage, bacteria and organised crime?

    As São Paulo faces a climate-induced water crisis, campaigners are fighting to reverse the impact of pollution and illegal deforestation on its largest reservoir

    In a small motorboat laden with water-monitoring equipment, biologist Marta Marcondes and community activist Wesley Silvestre Rosa cross Billings reservoir on the far southern edge of São Paulo. Bright white herons glide over the water, which is flanked by thick dark green clusters of Brazil’s Atlantic forest, as the boat heads towards one of the more polluted parts of the reservoir.

    “We see where sewage is entering, we see what has been deforested and how that has affected the water quality of the reservoir,” Marcondes says.

  • Beating the heat: study explores the search for cool during heatwaves

    Smartphone data shows how we seek refuge in extreme heat, and why social inequalities leave some vulnerable

    Heatwaves are now an increasingly expected part of summer for many. But how people stay cool varies from place to place. A new study uses mobile phone location data to track where people go when the mercury climbs, and assesses how we need to adapt to live better with the inevitable heatwaves to come.

    During the summer of 2025, a 10-day extreme period of heat across Europe led to 2,300 deaths. Globally, governments are implementing heat action plans, but social inequalities mean some people are more vulnerable to heat than others. Researchers used mobile phone location data across seven countries – Brazil, China, France, India, Nigeria, Turkey and the US – to assess how people stayed cool during heatwaves in 2022 and 2023.

  • ‘To them a power line is a line of trees’: Costa Rica moves to protect howler monkeys from electrocution

    Electric shock is one of the biggest causes of death among wildlife in the country but a court ruling is a first step to making power lines safe

    Peque, a small black howler monkey, scratches her head as she sits on a thick wooden branch in a wired enclosure with seven other orphaned baby howler monkeys at a rescue centre in Nosara, on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast.

    Last year, Peque was one of more than 100 animals to arrive at International Animal Rescue Costa Rica (IARCR) as a result of electrocution on power lines, which primates such as monkeys frequently mistake for trees and vines.

  • Noted swift nesting site destroyed by contractors in peak season

    Campaigners say builders’ demolition of nest site highlights weak protection of wildlife from development

    A building that was a noted nesting site for swifts, among the UK’s most at-risk birds, has been demolished during the nesting season, highlighting significant weaknesses in the protection of wildlife from development, campaigners say.

    Contractors for the housebuilder Hill Group carried out the demolition of Regent House near Dorking station in Surrey over the last few weeks, during the nesting season which runs from 1 March to 31 August.

  • ​Why is Europe still not ready for extreme heat?

    ​The first heatwaves of the season reveal how ​ill-prepared governments across the continent are to protect people from increasingly dangerous temperatures

    •Don’t get This Is Europe delivered to your inbox? Sign up here

    Meteorological summer has begun, ushered in with scorching heat that struck before spring was up. Although western Europe is nowmostly free from last week’s heat dome – which shattered temperature records for May in the UK and Ireland – it is already bracing for yet another sweltering summer. Oppressive days, restless nights and furious fires are brewing. On Tuesday, the World Meteorological Organisation warned us all to prepare for the imminent return of the warming weather pattern El Niño.

    Scientists have not worked out how many people died during thislatest bout of hot weather, but one environmental epidemiologist’s early modelling pegged it at 250 extra deaths in the UK alone on the weekend before temperatures peaked. The full death toll is likely to be particularly high because the heat struck before people had properly adjusted their behaviour to stay safe in the heat.

  • Specieswatch: Scientists trace haunting sea thrums to humpback whales

    Understanding whale sounds could help prevent strikes from ships and even aid in search for extraterrestrial life

    If you stand on certain shorelines and listen carefully you might just hear deep rumbling noises. Sharp-eared fishers, lighthouse keepers and sea kayakers have been haunted by these late-night sounds for centuries and now, for the first time, scientists have recorded these thrums and pinpointed them to humpback whales, proving that whales have a far larger vocabulary than previously thought.

    Fred Sharpe from the Alaska Whale Foundation and his colleagues set up land-based microphones to tune in to the mysterious ocean noises. Tip-offs from Alaskan coastal communities helped to narrow down the best recording locations. Along with the previously documented trumpets, blows and shrieks that humpback whales make, the researchers recorded very low frequency rumbles, a bit like distant thunder, and new sounds including pizzle, howl and hooting noises. The night thrums travelled through the air and could be heard up to 6 miles (10km) away.

  • ‘My son is still suffering’: the ill effects of water contamination in ‘Brixham incident’

    Physical and psychological impacts of a tap water parasite outbreak continue to be felt in south Devon

    Most of the tourists milling around the busy fishing harbour or visiting Agatha Christie’s riverside holiday retreat have probably forgotten what South West Water euphemistically calls the “Brixham incident”.

    But for residents at the centre of the “incident” – a parasite outbreak that caused perhaps hundreds of people in south Devon to fall ill after they drank contaminated water – the physical and psychological impacts are still keenly felt.
