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.

  • Northern Roots is launching Britain’s biggest urban farm and eco-park, in an effort to boost people’s health and wellbeing

    Standing in the open green space of Northern Roots, it is hard to imagine the landscape as it once was.

    Two cotton mills, two coalmines and an industrial railway once occupied this 65-hectare (160-acre) site in Oldham, Greater Manchester. Later, about 24 hectares became a tip, with much of the space left to nature.

  • From Sri Lanka to South Korea, governments are preparing for droughts, wildfires, typhoons and floods – with climate plans facing their biggest challenge to date

    Asian governments are rushing preparations for the most severe El Niño weather event on record, with hundreds of millions of people bracing for multiple crises at once as extreme heat, heavy rain and food shortages hit the region.

    Fuelled by exceptionally warm ocean conditions across the tropical Pacific – and developing alongside the human-driven climate crisis – El Niño is virtually guaranteed to grow to a very strong intensity towards the end of this year and into 2027.

  • Long-term research in New York shows efforts to reduce air pollution associated with higher cognitive test scores

    Improvements in air pollution are leading to brighter, smarter toddlers, according to a new study from Columbia University in New York.

    For more than two decades, Prof Frederica Perera and a team from the Columbia Center for Children’s Environmental Health measured the air pollution exposure of pregnant women and the development of their children in the disadvantaged communities of northern Manhattan and the South Bronx. More than 1,100 children were assessed when they were one, two and three years old.

  • In this week’s newsletter: As the Guardian launches a year-long project, Our Rivers, we take stock of the issues facing waterways around the world

    The nicknames of the world’s biggest rivers give a sense of how we feel about them: “the great river”, “the river that swallows all rivers”, “Mother Ganga” and “Old father Thames”. They feed and water us, and many other animal species. They carry our trade but also give us cool relief on a hot day. They’re nerve endings, elders and sources of comfort, but also of awe and respect.

    And yet many of the world’s rivers are suffering, hit by multiple environmental challenges. A new report out today from the World Meteorological Organization finds that rivers across the world experienced one of the driest years in more than three decades during 2025.

  • Efra committee calls for emergency legislation enabling government to take public control of the company

    Andy Burnham is under further pressure to take control of ailing Thames Water from a cross-party group of MPs who are calling for ministers to break off talks with the US hedge funds who are effectively running the company.

    Adding their voices to demands that the prime minister takes public control of the company, which has debts of £20bn and is being controlled by a group of 100 hedge funds and distressed-debt investors, the MPs said in a report that ministers should consider emergency legislation to take control of its financial affairs to stabilise the company.

  • Caistor St Edmund, Norfolk: We have three breeding pairs on the farm, and one in particular has been a source of fascination and amusement

    I’m out on the farm most days, but I miss so much. It took a few days to notice a mother mallard with her late brood of 12 ducklings until they were all dabbling in a yard puddle. Dad sees more than me. He told me of the lazy adult buzzard that waited in a tree, then dive-bombed a peregrine that had caught a pigeon. The peregrine dropped its prey, which the buzzard then delivered to a hay bale already strewn with feathers. A pair of juvenile buzzards swiftly followed, ready for a meal.

    Later, Dad placed the trail camera at the bale. The young buzzards were soon back in position with yet another dead pigeon. The footage tells a story that many parents will recognise after the long summer holidays.

  • The world is suddenly full of webs and hairy legs. But why? And what do they belong to? Meet the spiders you’re most likely to encounter, from cardinals to false wolves

    Summer is at an end, and suddenly spiders seem to be everywhere – in your house, in your garden, in your hair. Fresh webs hang from doorways, walls, shrubs and fence posts, creating invisible obstacle courses. Where do all these spiders come from, what kind are they and what, if anything, should we do about them?

    The short answer to the question “Why are there so many more spiders at this time of year?” is: there aren’t. They are just more obvious. Dave Clarke, an ectotherm (“cold-blooded” animal) specialist at the Zoological Society of London, says: “There are more spiders around in the spring, because that’s when they hatch from their egg sacs, and there are hundreds of babies in each egg sac. But they’re small and not very obvious. They grow up during the summer and, at this time of year, they reach their maximum size.” Their webs are also correspondingly larger.

  • After summer’s heatwaves, prepare for winter of storms and heavy rain, with millions of UK homes at risk of flooding

    The accelerating climate crisis and this year’s record-breaking El Niño mean that, although the summer’s heatwaves are still fresh in the memory, households in the UK are already being told to prepare for a potentially destructive winter of storms and heavy rain – leaving millions of homes at risk of flooding.

    Government action is needed to improve flood defences and build reliance on a national and regional level. But with the UK’s flood season just weeks away, the Guardian spoke to experts to find out what action communities and individuals can take to make their neighbourhoods and homes more resilient, from self-closing airbricks to deflated children’s footballs.

  • Amid record-shattering heatwaves and popular demand for climate action, why are politicians often timid or in denial?

    It was, according to the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, the “summer of truth”. Climate chaos ripped through Europe and the northern hemisphere, sending heat records tumbling, scorching crops in the fields, burning forests, emptying rivers and reservoirs, warping train tracks, melting roads and killing about 35,000 people in Europe alone.

    The EU has estimated the damage at about €180bn, and the full bill is yet to arrive: harvests have been depleted, which will probably raise food price inflation, and expensive repairs to infrastructure have only just begun.
