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”.

  • Localised rises in temperature caused by land clearance cause 28,330 heat-related deaths a year, researchers find

    Deforestation has killed more than half a million people in the tropics over the past two decades as a result of heat-related illness, a study has found.

    Land clearance is raising the temperature in the rainforests of the Amazon, Congo and south-east Asia because it reduces shade, diminishes rainfall and increases the risk of fire, the authors of the paper found.

  • Thinktank predicts wider inequality gap and calls for revised policies to tackle flying and excess private car use

    Inequality in transport emissions between the richest and the poorest in the UK is set to widen dramatically over the next decade, an analysis has found.

    The most affluent and mobile already produce 10 times more carbon through their domestic travel than the poorest and least mobile. Under current decarbonisation policies, thinktank researchers forecast this to grow to 13 times by 2035.

  • Researchers say findings show need for conservation efforts to focus on nutritional diversity

    Wild bees strategically visit different flowers to balance their intake of protein, fat and carbohydrates, a study has found.

    A team of ecologists observed eight species of wild bumblebees in the Colorado Rockies over eight years to develop a comprehensive nutritional map.

  • Across the globe, oil, gas and coal companies use an ever-widening set of tactics to crush competition and opposition. With the world’s most powerful man helping them at every turn, it’s critical we reveal their full impact

    Why does capital love fossil fuels? It’s not hard to explain. They exist in a small number of discrete locations, where the right to exploit them can be owned and monopolised. Most can be extracted commercially only at scale, excluding small competitors. They can be stored and traded all over the world, allowing prices to be optimised across time and space. Renewable energy, by contrast, can be generated almost anywhere, by almost anyone with a small amount of money to invest.

    Renewables might now be cheaper than fossil fuel in the vast majority of cases, but this makes them less attractive to capital, not more. Fossil fuels are uncompetitive and highly profitable. Renewables are highly competitive and not very profitable.

  • Creedy Valley, Devon: A walk in the newly shorn fields reveals tiny patches of an incredibly resilient plant – wild radish

    In one of the last fields of wheat to be cut, a large white butterfly skims the top of the parched crop. The two black dots on each flapping forewing bring a polka-dot touch to the monochrome field. Through the heat, its flutter brings a welcome motion. Otherwise, it is still, quiet, only the sound of fallen stems crunching underfoot. Where the butterfly lands, a cluster of oxeye daisies gleams, sheltered from the glare by the wheat.

    In the next field, the hill rises, newly shorn. The sky blares blue above low gold stalks, no trace of cloud, no breath of wind. In the stripped fields, there are tiny patches of white, where wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum) has survived. It has many other common names, including wild charlock, runch, wild turnip and wild kale, as well as several variations of radish: jointed, jointed wild, fodder, and the more generic moniker, white weed.

  • A group of farmers, bikers, truckers and scientists from the political left and right are working to bring attention to the health risks of using toxic sludge as fertilizer

    An unlikely alliance of farmers, bikers, truckers, a detective and scientists from across the political spectrum are working to pressure the Trump administration and Republican leadership to rein in the use of toxic sewage sludge as fertilizer on the nation’s farmland.

    Sludge often teems with Pfas, or “forever chemicals”, which present a health risk to farmers and the public, and have destroyed farms and contaminated water across the country. The issue has touched the groups’ lives in different ways, highlighting its broad risks to health.

  • Educators across the country confronted with how to deal with children in their schools who experienced tragedy

    Schools in parts of Texas reopened their doors two months earlier than planned this summer. But the reason was tragic.

    They were transformed into “relief hubs” to welcome volunteers whose efforts were instrumental in responding to devastating floods in the state. Now, as lessons have mostly resumed in Texas, the classrooms have been turned back from temporary emergency centres into places of learning, but that’s not to say the memories of what was lost will linger with the community indefinitely.

  • Warm weather has created strong flavours that some say means fruit that’s ripe enough for still wine

    UK vineyards are getting ready for a vintage year – and a very early harvest – with the warm, sunny weather caused by the heating climate delivering strong flavours in their grapes.

    Across the UK the total amount of wine produced is likely to be up on last year. English growers alone added more than 1,000 hectares of vines in 2024, taking the total to 4,841, of which 3,763 was in active production in 2024, according to the industry body Wine GB.
