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”.

  • Study reveals that pesticide poisoning kills 11,000 people each year, with India accounting for nearly 60% of fatalities

    Almost half of the world’s farmers are poisoned by pesticides every single year, a study has found.

    Using publicly available data from 2006-2023, the study, which was commissioned by Pesticide Action Network, found there to be an estimated 402-433m cases of unintentional acute pesticide poisoning of farmers and farm workers every year.

  • Campaigners say pheasants and partridges reared ‘on industrial scale’ do not have same protections as chickens

    The government is considering a crackdown on pheasant shooting in England as part of a consultation on strict new animal welfare laws that would affect shoot organisers.

    Ministers are already considering plans for the issuing of licences for those who run game bird shoots. The proposals mean anybody associated with wildlife crime, such as the poisoning or shooting of birds of prey, would be banned from hosting shooting events.

  • Andy Burnham has announced a crackdown, but doubts remain over authorities’ ability to take on organised crime

    “There were parents dropping their children off and then heaving from the smell,” says Liz Thompson, 45, who runs Blessings Nursery in Bradford, West Yorkshire.

    During the recent heatwaves, the smell from an illegal waste dump on Midland Road, just metres from the nursery, became so unbearable that staff had to keep the doors and windows shut and the children couldn’t play outside.

  • Meteorologists say mean average temperature of 16.5C was made 130 times more likely by climate crisis

    This year’s summer was the UK’s hottest on record, according to provisional data, and the Met Office said the season’s mean temperature was made 130 times more likely by the climate crisis.

    Record-breaking and back-to-back heatwaves have scorched much of Europe. In England, temperatures peaked at 38.1C (100.1F) at Kew Gardens in London on 13 August, and June had already been confirmed as the country’s hottest since records began in 1884. Scientists have said these heatwaves are only possible because of the climate crisis driven by burning fossil fuels.

  • As families await news of missing loved ones, the disaster is a stark reminder of how the climate crisis is creating a fast-growing threat. Plus, the town considered India’s ‘Jurassic Park’

    It has been hard not to despair while watching the ruinous floods swallow parts of Nepal, and harder, still knowing that the agony compounds each passing day for dozens of Indian families whose members remain unaccounted for.

    Social media is awash with desperate pleas, photos and details of the young and old, men and women, from Mumbai to Kolkata, posted by families searching for traces of life. The disaster unfolded when a melting glacier slammed into the valley below, unleashing a deadly cascade of rock and ice down the Bhote Kashi River, which flows from Tibet into Nepal.

  • Head of tree collections at Kew ‘very worried about this autumn’ as hot, dry summer has caused brittleness

    High winds associated with El Niño could cause widespread mortality among tree species already weakened by a prolonged period of extreme heat and drought, experts have warned.

    This summer much of Europe has been scorched by a series of record-breaking climate crisis-induced heatwaves. The impact is notable across much of England’s countryside, where once green land has turned brown, and many trees are undergoing “early autumn” – wilting and losing their leaves early – to cope with extreme heat.

  • Savings grow as energy prices in Great Britain rise and cost of panel installation falls, analysis finds

    Households in Great Britain’s cloudiest regions could still save more than £400 a year on their energy bills by installing rooftop solar panels, research has found.

    Rising wholesale energy prices mean the potential savings from a home solar panel system have climbed in recent years, as the cost of installation has continued to fall, leading to increased demand.

  • A fragment of temperate rainforest lies on the edge of Dartmoor, and following years of conservation work, its owners have now opened up a sustainable campsite next to this fragile ecosystem

    Mist blankets the valley as I wheel my camping gear down the small hill towards a clearing ringed by trees and shrubs. A picnic bench sits at its edge, angled towards the reason why I’m here: one of the last remaining fragments of temperate rainforest in Britain. I’m pitching my tent at Wray Valley Camping, a low-impact site on Dartmoor’s eastern edge between Lustleigh and Moretonhampstead, where I’ll spend five days on one of the site’s “nearly wild” pitches.

    Also known as Atlantic woodland, temperate rainforests depend on a rare combination of high humidity, rainfall and consistently mild coastal temperatures where the sea moderates the climate. They once stretched from the western Highlands of Scotland down to Cornwall, covering 20% of the UK, and sheltering rare and delicate lichens and plants. Today more than 95% of our temperate rainforest cover is gone, but Devon’s near-constant dampness and its exposure to the Atlantic make it one of the last strongholds for this rare habitat.

  • El Niño is associated with weaker monsoons in India – but research suggests it can also bring more extreme rainfall

    The world is bracing for a “super” El Niño, and its effects are already being felt in India, where the monsoon has brought less rain than average but more intense downpours.

    Meteorologists predict that the current El Niño, which is developing over the Pacific, could be one of the strongest in living memory. India is likely to be heavily affected, particularly later in the monsoon, when El Niño’s influence tends to strengthen.

  • The race to study the North Water between Canada and Greenland before it changes has led to a bold plan for an Inuit-run protected area

    Electric-blue meltwater sprays up under Terry Noah’s snowmobile as he races across sea ice extending out from Canada’s northernmost public community: Grise Fiord in Nunavut, a hamlet of 144 people closer to Murmansk in Russia than the Canadian city of Toronto. The bay’s cliffs loom higher and higher like stone icebergs as he approaches his destination across the bay.

    Noah pulls his sled carefully over a seal’s breathing hole, about the circumference of a basketball. Using a custom-made winch, he lowers a submersible instrument into the sea below the ice.
