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.

  • Wildfire near Sizewell nuclear plant causes ‘total devastation’ to Suffolk landscape

    Emergency crews say situation remains ‘dynamic’ as more than 100 firefighters battle Dunwich Heath blaze

    A wildfire near Britain’s biggest nuclear power station has caused “total devastation” to one of the UK’s most important landscapes, as fire crews said the situation remained “dynamic”.

    More than 100 firefighters have been battling the blaze on Dunwich Heath, near Leiston, on the Suffolk coast since Wednesday evening. The fire service said on Friday afternoon the situation was stabilising but remained a “major incident” that was “dynamic and potentially changeable”.

  • Country diary: Pity the poor limpets – must the summer holidays mean they get smashed by a child? | Sara Hudston

    Lyme Regis, Dorset: Busy beaches can be bad news for shellfish. If curious children don’t know they are live creatures, then let’s educate them

    My favourite beach at Lyme Regis is the capricious East Cliff, visible only at low tide. The best way to reach it is down a 114-step walkway.

    The path drops through rough scrub, a feral mix of wild plants and garden escapes, sizzling with grasshoppers. Buddleia flourishes next to sallow bushes, hazel and gorse. Sour blackberries are already reddening among the brambles and somewhere in the tangle, a stonechat calls. The sound, like two dry pebbles clicked together, echoes the faint tap of fossil hammers audible from the beach below.

  • ‘Extremely scary findings’ show climate crisis is supercharging Europe’s wildfire weather

    Latest study says global heating has made hot, dry and windy conditions in Spain at least 20 times more likely

    The extreme heat and drought stoking huge wildfires in Spain and France were made far more likely by the climate crisis, a scientific analysis has found.

    Global heating made hot, dry and windy weather at least 20 times more likely in Spain and twice as likely in France, experts from the World Weather Attribution (WWA) consortium calculated. The finding is the latest to pin the blame for the continent’s sweltering and deadly summer firmly on the heating caused by the burning of oil, gas and coal.

  • ‘It’s too fast, too big’: speed of climate crisis is devastating crops, say farmers

    Drought and extreme heat are killing plants, driving up prices while also making some farms economically unviable

    “It’s a constant battle,” says Tim Young. He and his family have been tracking the rainfall on their Norfolk farm since 1976, and the data shows the last six years have seen two-thirds the amount of rain compared with previous years. The lack of water has become the number one risk to Young’s business.

    This summer has seen record-breaking climate induced heatwaves scorch much of Europe, which combined with droughts and “apocalyptic” wildfires has made farming virtually impossible. France has faced down fires that its president, Emmanuel Macron, called the worst since the second world war and on Wednesday half of England was declared officially in drought, with July expected to be the driest on record after winter floods, according to the Environment Agency. So how are farmers bearing up under the pressure?

  • ‘It’s all right for them’: private schools and golf courses stay green despite England’s hosepipe bans

    As parks turn brown and paddling pools go unfilled, exemptions mean sports pitches can stay lush – even in school holidays

    After multiple punishing heatwaves, and no rain in parts for over a month, it seems the whole of the south of England is golden brown.

    But by Hammersmith Bridge in Barnes, south-west London, there is the unmistakable scent of damp soil. The playing fields of St Paul’s school, where fees are up to £57,000 a year, are a bright, lush green.

  • New solar panels in Great Britain at 15-year high as fossil fuel costs soar

    Boom in solar farms and home installations in first half of 2026 began shortly after start of US-Israel war against Iran

    Great Britain has recorded more new solar power installations in the first half of this year than in any six-month period since 2011, as households turn to rooftop panels to help cut their energy bills.

    An analysis of the government’s official figures shows that Great Britain added 142,536 solar installations in the first six months of the year, putting it on track to top last year’s record solar additions.

  • Soy sauce refills and reused jars: can Philippines’ tingi culture hold back deluge of plastic waste?

    A zero-waste shop set up by a district council provides plastic-free products at affordable prices in a country that gets through 164m sachets a day

    Just after classes finish for the day in Malabon City, in the Philippines, a corner shop begins to fill. Mothers arrive with their children, handing over empty bottles to be refilled with soy sauce and cooking oil. Plastic tubs that previously held ice-cream or biscuits are weighed and filled with flour or sugar. The kids get some sweets and banana chips bagged in brown kraft paper.

    This store, Tingi Tindahan, offers a different experience from other small independent shops in the country. It retains the accessibility of micro-retail, colloquially known as tingi, while reintroducing reuse and refill methods instead of selling products in sachets and plastic packaging that too quickly becomes discarded waste.

  • ‘We stared into an abyss’: the men and women battling to tame France’s megafire

    Exhausted firefighters, foresters and volunteers wage ‘war of attrition’ against blaze that forced 200,000 people from their homes

    By noon it is time for a break. The temperature is about 35C, the smell of ash, cinders and burnt wood hang acrid in the air. At tables laid out in the shrinking shade on the desiccated grass and sand outside the sports centre in Le Porge, 200 men and a handful of women have gathered. Firefighters, soldiers, police, gendarmes, officials, first aid teams, foresters and volunteers sit elbow to elbow, plates of sausages, steak and potatoes in front of them.

    The village was evacuated just over 14 hours after the “megafire” – as it has become known in France – broke out 6km away last week. The blaze has consumed 42,000 hectares (104,000 acres) of mainly forestland west of Bordeaux. Though finally contained, there are outbreaks every day, pushing to the limit emergency services and the hundreds of amateurs who have come to their aid.

  • ‘We can’t make it better again’: what Europe’s wildfires tell us about the climate crisis

    In this week’s newsletter: As France and Spain battle huge fires in this summer of relentless heat, will it be enough to spur us to take action?

    When Stefan Rahmstorf walked through the ruined streets of Dresden after the river Elbe flooded in 2002, and again when severe heat killed 70,000 people in Europe the following summer, the German climatologist wondered if worsening weather would make the political world “wake up and do something really decisively” to cut emissions.

    But two decades and 750bn tons of atmospheric carbon pollution later, Rahmstorf is still wondering when the wake-up call will come. Last week, as he was surfing off France’s Atlantic coast with his partner, he watched towering smoke plumes darken the sky as a ferocious inferno raged outside Bordeaux.
