Spomíname na slovenských ochranárov
Rok 2009 ešte neskončil a už možno konštatovať že bol pre slovenskú ochranársku obec mimoriadne smutný. Stratili sme naraz štyroch pracovníkov štátnej ochrany prírody, ktorí stáli pri jej povojnovej rekonštrukcii. Všetci štyria úzko spolupracovali s českou ochranou prírody. Juraj Varga hlavne pri zakladaní československej dobrovoľnej organizácie ochrany prírody TIS, Alojz Čaputa pri ochrane Lepidopter, Ján Bako ako zástupca vedúceho úseku ochrany prírody pre spoluprácu s českým SUPPOPom a Štefan Homza z titulu pracovníka oddelenia ochrany prírody na Ministerstve kultúry SSR. Zaslúžia si, aby sme si ich aspoň stručne pripomenuli.
