Eco Hvar: naša hranilišta

Objavljeno u Ljubimci

VAŽNA NAPOMENA: Uložili smo mnogo truda i novca u postavljanje naših hranilišta. Projektirali smo i financirali kućice za mačke te ih postavili na mjesta uz dopuštenje vlasnika nekretnina. Ovako rade:

Zatvorene kućice namjenjene su pružanju skloništa mačkama tijekom hranjenja i spriječavanju pasa da dohvate hranu. Ta hranilišta nisu utočišta / skloništa (u smislu smještaja). Nije cilj da mačke mogu spavati unutra: ulične mačke žive slobodno vani i kućice nisu dosta velike za sve mačke koje mogu biti u blizini. Ne stavimo meke materijale poput jastuka ili deka u kućicama. Takvi materijali mogu stvoriti sjedište za buhe i brzo bi se zaprljali i smočili, što bi moglo uzrokovati zdravstvene probleme mačkama.

Hranilice unutar kućica pružaju siguran i stalan izvor suhe hrane za mačke. Pune se po potrebi.

Zdjelice s mokrom hranom se koriste samo pod nadzorom. Uklanjaju se kada mačke završe s jelom. Svi ostaci hrane se uklanjaju, a zdjelice peru prije sljedeće upotrebe.

Voda se osigura u staklenoj ili tvrdoj plastičnoj posudi koja se čisti svaki put kada se puni kako bi se spriječilo stvaranje zelene sluzi. Mekane plastične boce i posude nisu dobre ni za ljude ni za životinje, pogotovo kad se koriste u više navrata i ostanu nekoliko dana.

Hranilišta i okolina održavaju se čistima i urednima.

Nepravilno korištenje hranilišta uzrokuje zdravstvene probleme mačaka, osim što nam stvara dodatni posao.

AKO ŽELITE POMOĆI, MOLIM VAS SLJEDITE OVE SMJERNICE:

DONACIJE KVALITETNE HRANE U PAKETIMA ILI KONZERVAMA SU DOBRODOŠLE  i mogu se ostaviti uz kućice.

MOLIMO VAS DA NE HRANITE MAČKE NA MJESTIMA GDJE SMO POSTAVILI NAŠA HRANILIŠTA OSIM U DOGOVORU S NAŠOM UDRUGOM ECO HVAR.

NAŠA ISKUSTVA

Ljudi nas često traže da uspostavimo hranilišta na drugim mjestima gdje se zna da se okupljaju mačke. Tu su naravno uključeni znatni troškovi za koje nema javnih sredstava: naša Udruga ovisi isključivo o dobrovoljnim donacijama. Mjesta moraju biti pažljivo odabrana. Hranidbenim stanicama moraju upravljati pojedinačni volonteri. Velika je obveza uključena!

U nekoliko godina otkako smo uspostavili prototip hranilišta, naišli smo na protivljenje i destruktivne akcije mrzitelja mačaka. Razumijemo da ne vole svi mačke ili druge životinje i to je bio jedan od razloga za osnivanje hranilišta.

Probleme su stvarali i ljubitelji mačaka. Tijekom cijelog ljeta 2025. godine, posebno na hranilištu na parkiralištu Plodine, ljudi su ostavljali višak hrane oko kućica. Neka je hrana bila potpuno neprikladna (npr. suhi kruh, peciva); ogromne količine suhe hrane ostavljene su izvan kućica, koje su uglavnom ostale netaknute; ostala je mokra mačja hrana koja je odmah postala smrdljiva, pokvarena i crvotočna.

Plastične posude ostavljene s vodom brzo su postale kontaminirane zelenom sluzi; ručnici i mekani materijali su stavljeni u kolibe i na nama je palo da ih operemo kad su bili prljavi. Veći dio ljeta, dok je bilo mačića na licu mjesta, obilazili smo hranilište Plodina tri puta dnevno, a svakodnevno smo morali odlagati neprikladnu, nepotrebnu hranu i čistiti popratni nered. Usput, drago nam je reći da su majka i mačići koje smo tada brinuli uspješno udomljeni, kao i druge mačke s mjesta.

Pozdravljamo suradnju sa svima koji žele pomoći ugroženim životinjama na Hvaru. Drago nam je zbog pozitivnih prijedloga kako unaprijediti naše aktivnosti. Razumijemo da drugi mogu imati drugačije stavove o tome što ulične mačke trebaju. Uspostavili smo naše hranilišta za mačke u skladu s načelima promicanja dobre higijene i zdrave prakse. Ako drugi žele djelovati izvan tih načela, mogu i trebaju postaviti vlastite hranidbene stanice na drugim mjestima osim naših.

  • Take down bird feeders this summer to cut spread of avian disease, says RSPB

    Charity advises replacing seed and nut feeders, where birds gather, with small amounts of mealworms, fat balls or suet

    Garden birds should not be fed seeds and nuts over the summer months, the RSPB has said, in an attempt to reduce the spread of avian diseases.

    Bird lovers are being urged to take down their bird feeders between May and October to help birds such as the greenfinch, whose numbers have plummeted after the spread of trichomonosis, a parasitic disease transmitted more easily when birds cluster around feeders in the warmer months.

  • Country diary: Cropping season this year brings a new worry – fuel prices | Colin Chappell

    Brigg, Lincolnshire: The peas are in and next up are maize and wildflowers, but with our fuel use running to 50,000 litres a year, I have one eye on the news

    Spring has sprung, and with warming soils we start planting our more delicate crops such as peas. With the chatter of skylarks in the background, we slowly drill our way across this 15-hectare field using a three-metre precision drill that carefully places the seed. Six weeks ago, this would have cost £7.50 per hectare on fuel, now it’s £15 per hectare – a severe shock to the farm’s finances.

    It’s not often that an arable farmer’s mind is so focused on global events, but our fuel use tops 50,000 litres a year and the Middle East conflict is having profound consequences. Thankfully, we’re partly protected. Over the last seven or eight years, we have transitioned to a low-disturbance approach to establishing crops, disturbing the top inch only. This means less tractor use and healthier soil – a big priority here. Fertiliser prices are also a worry. Common practice is to buy a year’s worth every June, but prices are skyrocketing, and there’s no UK production any more to help us out.

  • ‘I’m worried there’s too much of me,’ says a birch: inside the interspecies council giving nature a voice

    In a village in Norway, humans representing flora and fauna of all kinds meet to reimagine ‘nature-centric governance’

    “My ask of humans is quite large,” says the northern bat to a room of reindeer, wolf lichen, bog, and other beings. “It’s a shift of consciousness, and an understanding that … we are a relation.”

    The scene could come from a sci-fi novel imagining a more-than-human uprising. In fact, it’s from a recent “interspecies council” in Oppdal, Norway, in which non-humans – spoken for by humans – convened to discuss the region’s future.

  • Anger as swifts’ nesting holes in Derbyshire rail viaduct ‘blocked up’

    Campaigners say birds could die trying to access ancestral nests that were sealed during rail refurbishment

    Some swifts returning to Britain to breed will be unable to access their ancestral nesting holes after they were blocked in a £7.5m refurbishment of a Derbyshire railway viaduct, campaigners say.

    Nature lovers had appealed to Network Rail to unblock three holes which were among at least nine swift nesting sites on the twin viaducts at Chapel Milton, on the edge of the Peak District.

  • Wild chimpanzees recorded waging ‘civil war’ with coordinated attacks between two groups

    New study describes what may be the first case of a unified community of chimps, in Uganda, turning on itself

    On a June day in 2015, primatologist Aaron Sandel was quietly observing a small cluster of the Ngogo chimpanzee group in Uganda’s Kibale national park when he noticed something strange. As other members of the chimpanzees’ wider group moved closer through the forest, the chimpanzees in front of him began to display nervous behaviour. They grimaced and touched each other for reassurance, acting more like they were about to meet strangers than close companions.

    In hindsight, Sandel said, that moment was the first sign of what would become a years-long bloody conflict between a once close-knit group of chimps.

  • ‘An abomination’: the Lancashire town kicking up a stink over reopened landfill

    Residents of Fleetwood say continuous foul smell from Transwaste site is causing illness and making life hell

    In the week that many families went to the coast for the fresh sea air or the tang of fish and chips, visitors to one Lancashire resort inhaled a rather more unpleasant aroma.

    “Welcome to Fleetwood,” read the local newspaper headline. “The town that smells of bin juice.”

  • ‘Reverse-gentrify the country’: how Black and Indigenous intentional communities are reclaiming land

    From California to Alabama, people of color are building communal spaces rooted in care and tradition

    Zappa Montag steps outside his home to a thicket of redwoods, Pacific madrones and oak trees. Dozens of fruit trees dot the 76 hectares (189 acres), along with a large garden replete with squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, corn and peppers. Nearby, a small stream runs through a valley surrounded by hills. At Black to the Land, the ecovillage in Boonville, California, Montag and five other Black people steward the land off the grid, relying on well water and powered solely by solar panels. The intentional community, as it’s called, is located in a rural area 115 miles (185km) north of San Francisco. Montag said it was an effort to “reverse-gentrify the country”.

    Black Americans and Indigenous people have long gathered in intentional communities, defined as small groups of people who live in the same area based on shared values and a common vision. They come in many forms, including co-housing spaces in urban environments where people have their own units and share communal spaces.

  • The war over Omagh’s gold: the £21bn mine plan tearing a community apart

    On Monday, a public inquiry will reopen, nine years after the plan was proposed and a toxic local battle began

    When Fidelma O’Kane retired more than a decade ago from her career as a social worker and lecturer, she thought she would be “travelling and having a glass of wine and eating chocolate and reading books” while based in the quiet, hilly corner of rural County Tyrone where she has lived almost all her life.

    It didn’t quite work out that way. Instead, an idle remark from a neighbour would set O’Kane on a path that would become an all-consuming mission. A mining company, the neighbour told her, was planning to drill for long-rumoured reserves of gold in the Sperrins, the low peatland mountain range in Northern Ireland where O’Kane’s family has lived for generations.

  • ‘That’ll be the end’: actor Sam Neill joins fight to stop controversial goldmine near his New Zealand vineyard

    Neill says ‘one of the most beautiful and remote places in the world’ will be permanently changed if Bendigo-Ophir wins fast-track approval

    The grapevines in Sam Neill’s vineyard in Central Otago – a picturesque region known for its undulating hills and wines – are pregnant with pinot noir grapes, almost ripe for picking as autumn arrives.

    “My family has been here for over 150 years. I’m connected to this land like nowhere else on earth,” the 78-year-old actor and winemaker says. “It’s perfect for wine. It’s great for tourism. And it’s one of the most beautiful and strange, remote places in the world.”
