Kada je prije četiri godine povodom Dana općine na jelšanskoj rivi svečano otkrivena skulptura tovaru, danas promidžbeni adut No. 1 toga ljetovališta, kulturolog, slikar i ravnatelj Likovnog centra u Zagrebu Jugan Splivalo, rekao je da je njen autor Ivan Škrmeta zapravo altruist s umjetničkom žicom.

A pokojni Slavomir Drinković, tada šef kiparske katedre ALU Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, dodao je da je dobro da tovara imamo barem u bronci te da on zaista zaslužuje budućnost spomenika.

No, ima li još uvijek idiličnih oaza gdje ljudi mirno žive s tim milim i dragim životinjama? Rijetko jer je tovara, izbavitelja i hranitelja težaških obitelji, dolaskom mehanizacije na škoj praktično nestalo, ali ipak takav prizor svakodnevno možemo vidjeti u Dolu sv. Marije na otoku Hvaru.

Zgodna Englezina Jana Appleyard, ranije profesionalna plesačica u Londonu, danas je majstorica (guru) yoge koja se ustrajno brine o svoja tri tovara i jednom konju, a nerijetko ih se može vidjeti i u šetnji po tom pitoresknom selu, prirodi koju čovjek još nije uništio.

- U djetinjstvu nisam imala ama baš nikakvo iskustvo čak ni s kućnim ljubimcima. Svoju veliku ljubav prema prirodi i životinjama otkrila sam prije desetak godina, kada sam se doselila ovdje u Dol, gdje sam kupila i uredila staru kamenu kuću u kojoj gostima pružam usluge smještaja. A što se tovara tiče, prvog sam nabavila prije otprilike pet godina, bio je mlad i zamolila sam njegova vlasnika da mi ga proda, a onda sam mu uz pomoć prijatelja i susjeda napravila kućicu i počela se brinuti o njemu - pripovijeda nam Jana, sada već prava Dolka.

U početku nije puno znala o njihovu uzgoju, pa je istraživala na internetu, slušala je ljude s iskustvom i vrlo brzo ušla u štos, svom Panou je pružala svu potrebnu pažnju i animaciju. Jana mu je dala bezuvjetnu ljubav, koju je on njoj uzvratio. Naučio je biti dobar i (donekle) poslušan.

A ono što je najvažnije time je započela spašavati tovare na našem najsunčanijem otoku, jer je ona nakon toga nabavila još dvije ženke - Lula, koja je sestra Panoa, i Lily-Rose, u koju je Pano onako magareći ludo zaljubljen. Ipak, sve to nije bilo dovoljno, pa je društvu pridodala i kobilu Zenu, tako da joj sada posla ne fali, ali zato ima zadovoljstva na pretek.

- Tovari su od pamtivijeka bili izvrgnuti ruglu, nezasluženo, ovo Božje (biblijsko) stvorenje, danas nazivaju - magarac, osao, tovar ili tovor, najodaniji čovjekov prijatelj, ali i rob – govori čakavska pjesnikinja Vlatka Buj, dok se fetiva Jelšanka, povjesničarka umjetnosti Jasenka Splivalo živo sjeća ranih jutarnjih sati kada bi se ispod prozora čulo njakanje ia, ia, ia... što bi se sjedinilo s pjevom kokota i označilo odlazak u polje.

To je ustvari najavljivalo kraj odmora osamaljenog tovarčića, odnosno početak njegova napornog dana, nošenja drva ili gospodara. Ponosni ‘Marokanci’ Dakle, tovari, mule i konji bili su radna snaga za nošenje tereta. Nerijetko su držani u lošim uvjetima, a bilo je slučajeva da su pred kraj života služili i kao hrana.

Mnogi su se ljudi nad tim zgražali, osobito stranci, koji se i dan danas znaju požaliti udruzi “Eco Hvar” zbog maltretiranja tih životinja. Naravno, nakon toga bi uslijedile obavijesti nadležnom komunalnom redaru, veterinarima i inspektorima, što je nedavno rezultiralo sasvim konkretnom pomoći jednom jadnom tovaru, koji je bio u jako lošem zdravstvenom stanju. Sada se on, na svu sreću, dobro oporavlja.

Ništa njima ne fali. Foto: Vivian Grisogono

- Jana iz Dola je na najbolji mogući način pokazala kako treba poštovati tovare i konje. Ta dama jednostavno želi proširiti svijest o važnosti čuvanja prirode i životinja, a i Doljani koje žargonski nazivaju “Marokancima” ponosni su što njihovo selo postaje primjerom pravog (kulturnog) ponašanja prema tim čovjekovim četveronožnim pratiteljima. Oni su sada zapravo postali amblem njihova mjesta, a mnogi ljudi, što stranci, što mještani, Jani napokon pomažu u ostvarenju njezine životne misije. Ova žena se zbog svega navedenog nastavlja brinuti o životinjama i vjeruje da će već uskoro stvoriti uvjete za njihovo spašavanje u budućnosti - zaključila je Nada Kozulić, potpredsjednica udruge “Eco Hvar”.

  • The court of justice said Portugal had committed serious infringements of EU environmental law

    Portugal has been fined €10m (£8.7m) by the EU’s court of justice for failing to comply with environmental laws that require it to protect biodiversity. It has also been ordered to pay €41,250 a day until it complies with a previous court order made in 2019.

    The court said it was imposing the maximum fine possible to “encourage” Portugal to bring the infringement to an end.

  • Fossil fuel price surge after US-Israeli attacks on Iran prompts calls to end dependence on ‘volatile’ energy source

    The UK government must double down on its clean energy drive to protect bill payers from increasingly volatile fossil fuel markets in the wake of the US-Israel war on Iran, climate groups, academics and energy experts have warned.

    Research publishedon Thursday shows that the last fossil fuel energy crisis, caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, cost the EU and the UK $1.8tn between 2022 and 2025, driving up bills and fuelling a devastating cost of living crisis.

  • At least eight councils receive legal threats alleging flyers criticising wood burners are in breach of advertising codes

    Lobbyists for the UK wood-burning stove industry have threatened councils with legal action over public information campaigns warning of the harms of air pollution.

    At least eight councils have received legal threats, according to research by the British Medical Journal (BMJ). The Stove Industry Association (SIA), which represents the UK’s expanding industry around the burning of wood in domestic settings, wrote to the councils, all London boroughs, in late 2023 complaining that flyers stating wood burners were “careless, not cosy” were in breach of UK advertising codes.

  • The chances of finding one mammal species thought to be lost was ‘almost zero’ and finding two is ‘unprecedented’, biologist Tim Flannery says

    Researchers led by the Australian scientist Tim Flannery have made a once-in-a-lifetime discovery: that two charismatic marsupial species that had been thought extinct for 6,000 years are alive in rainforest in remote West Papua.

    The pair are rare examples of “Lazarus taxa” – species that disappeared from fossil records in the distant past that are later found to have survived.

  • At the council recycling tip in Chingford, people drop off fridges, dishwashers, mattresses, golf clubs, bicycles and batteries – then head into the shop to hunt through the weird and wonderful treasures

    When an embalmed rabbit in a Perspex box arrived at the dump in Chingford, north-east London, last year, with fur on its head but its organs and skeleton exposed to teach veterinary students about the digestive system, Lisa Charlton knew she had to save it from landfill. She was sure that one of her regulars, a man interested in anything “a bit weird, macabre and bizarre” would buy it. And he did.

    Charlton, who has worked at the recycling centre’s onsite ReUse shop for a year and a half, has salvaged items ranging from furniture, old toys and lampshades to walking frames brought in by local people. She has put aside some cast-iron cauldrons for her sister who is “into crystals and healing” and runs a shop in Cornwall. Items that have come through her shop include vintage crockery, antique crystal vases with solid silver rims, a spindly chair from the 1920s and an old ammunition box.

  • The arrival of loggerheads in New South Wales shows these ‘sentinels of climate change’ are being forced into unknown territory

    When Bulwal Bilima (BB for short) first arrived at Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia, she, or possibly he, was lethargic, badly constipated and dehydrated. Named “strong turtle” in the Aboriginal Dhurga language of the Yuin people on whose land it was found, the tiny 110g loggerhead hatchling, no bigger than a bar of soap, had a fight on its hands.

    The baby turtle was found stranded in New South Wales’s Booderee national park last April, much further south than the usual hatching grounds. After days of feeding on squid, sardines and marine vitamins, BB, whose sex cannot be determined until it is fully mature, revived.

  • The conflict in the Middle East has sent energy prices soaring, and for countries that import a high proportion of their fuel, it’s a reminder of the perils of energy dependence. As the recipient of almost 90% of Iran’s crude oil, China knows this only too well. Which partly explains why the country spent the last decade heavily investing in clean power.

    To find out what else could be driving the strategy, Madeleine Finlay speaks to senior China correspondent Amy Hawkins.

    And energy correspondent Jillian Ambrose reflects on how China’s ambitions could affect the rest of the world

  • Shrinking and faster-moving glaciers, weakened ice shelves and more icebergs would bring fundamental changes

    You don’t need an umbrella in Antarctica. With an average of just 16cm of precipitation each year, this continent is the world’s largest desert. But all that could change. A study shows that as the world warms, Antarctica is going to experience more rain, bringing with it fundamental changes to the landscape and wildlife inhabiting this unique environment.

    Bethan Davies, a glaciologist at Newcastle University, has been leading a team studying the impact of a warming climate on the Antarctic peninsula. Under faster warming scenarios (2C or more this century) they report in Frontiers in Environmental Science that snow and rain could increase by more than 20%, with increasing amounts falling as rain.

  • Democratic rematch in Durham-area district draws focus to fight over AI datacenters increasingly shaping US elections

    A North Carolina congressional primary held on Tuesday is an early test of datacenter politics – a fight increasingly shaping elections nationwide.

    In the Durham-area fourth district, Congresswoman Valerie Foushee is seeking her third term against progressive challenger Nida Allam, a Durham county commissioner she defeated in 2022. The election was too close to call as of Wednesday morning, with Foushee up by less than one percentage point, and is likely headed for a recount.
