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.

- 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”.

  • Exclusive: Campaigners claim changes will let companies ‘off the hook’, as government prepares to unveil new white paper for water industry

    Water companies could be let off fines for polluting the environment under changes announced in the government’s new white paper.

    The environment secretary, Emma Reynolds, hailed the changes as “once-in-a-generation reforms” featuring “tough oversight, real accountability and no more excuses”.

  • The Andaman coast was one of very few places in the world with a viable population but then dead dugongs began washing up. Now half have gone

    A solitary figure stands on the shore of Thailand’s Tang Khen Bay. The tide is slowly rising over the expanse of sandy beach, but the man does not seem to notice. His eyes are not fixed on the sea, but on the small screen clutched between his hands.

    About 600 metres offshore, past the shadowy fringe of coral reef, his drone hovers over the murky sea, focused on a whirling grey shape: Miracle, the local dugong, is back.

  • Changing temperatures may be behind change in behaviour, which experts fear threatens three species’ survival

    Penguins in Antarctica have radically shifted their breeding season, apparently as a response to climate change, research has found.

    Dramatic shifts in behaviour were revealed by a decade-long study led by Penguin Watch at the University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes University, with some penguins’ breeding period moving forward by more than three weeks.

  • Studies detecting microplastics throughout human bodies have made for alarming reading in recent years. But last week, the Guardian’s environment editor, Damian Carrington, reported on major doubts among a group of scientists about how some of this research has been conducted.

    Damian tells Ian Sample how he first heard about the concerns, why the scientists think the discoveries are probably the result of contamination and false positives, and where it leaves the field. He also reflects on how we should now think about our exposure to microplastics

  • Even 25% increase in meat and dairy consumption would require 100m more acres of agricultural land, analysis says

    The Trump administration’s new dietary guidelines urging Americans to eat far more meat and dairy products will, if followed, come at a major cost to the planet via huge swathes of habitat razed for farmland and millions of tons of extra planet-heating emissions.

    A new inverted food pyramid recently released by Donald Trump’s health department emphasizes pictures of steak, poultry, ground beef and whole milk, alongside fruits and vegetables, as the most important foods to eat.

  • Intense rainfall has caused the water to go murky in some areas, making them attractive spots for fish and sharks to feed

    Four people have been attacked by sharks in New South Wales in 48 hours, including three incidents at Sydney beaches.

    Any shark bite incident is traumatic and Sydney swimmers have been warned to stay out of the water.

  • Buxton, Derbyshire: Others are taller, wider, older, but our varied stock of willows have a generosity that sets them apart

    Usually in this country when we think about important trees, we focus on height, girth, age, visual impact – in short, their material properties. Few therefore would probably name willow as a number one British species.

    Willows often have no central trunk as in our archetypal tree model, and few specimens are more than 7 metres tall. Yet there is a sphere in which willows are pre‑eminent: more invertebrates live on them (452 species) than any other trees, including oaks, their closest contenders (423). In his glorious guide Trees of Britain and Ireland, Jon Stokes points out that 160 lichens thrive on willows too.

  • A study of Arabidopsis thalianaplants found that plants growing together activated genes to protect themselves, while isolated plants did not

    Plants growing close to each other can warn each other about stresses in their lives.

    Thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants were grown on their own or crowded so close together they were touching each other. When all the plants were then stressed with intense light, the isolated plants suffered severe damage, but the crowds of plants were able to cope with the stress. In fact, it just took an hour for the crowded plants to switch on more than 2,000 of their genes that were involved in protecting against a host of different stresses; in contrast, the isolated plants showed little sign of any extra gene activity.

  • As Labour shakes up regulation, suppliers are finally investing – but face problems such as contractor shortages and inflation

    When a sluice gate failed 24 metres below the water’s surface at Thames Water’s Queen Mother reservoir near London’s Heathrow airport, there were no easy fixes available. Emptying 37m cubic metres (1,307m cu ft) of water was not an option, meaning that helmeted divers were limited to 98-minute stints in the high-pressure environment.

    The risky project required a team on a floating platform with a crane to cut out the broken equipment with thermal lances, bolt a plate on to the reservoir wall, and install the new equipment. It took more than a year until last October to complete, according to Glenfield Invicta, the contractor that carried out the work for Thames Water.

  • Experts call for tighter regulation as GPS tracking reveals how people’s behaviour affects the lives of some of the world’s largest birds

    Many people look up to admire the silhouette of raptors, some of the planet’s largest birds, soaring through seemingly empty skies. But increasingly, research shows us that this fascination runs both ways. From high above, these birds are watching us too.

    Thanks to the development of tiny GPS tracking devices attached to their bodies, researchers are getting millions of data points on the day-to-day lives of these apex predators of the skies, giving us greater insight into where they hunt and rest, and how they die.
