To this day, no official spatial planning exists for Buljarica, leaving local residents effectively empty-handed and restricted regarding their own property. Foreign mega-investors attempt to convince them that the only way to monetize their land is to sell it off.
We demand an end to this stagnation and the urgent provision of basic infrastructure. This is the only way for locals to gain a real opportunity to use their land independently, build sustainable businesses, and ultimately create long-term prosperity through their own efforts.
In times of heatwaves, water scarcity, and extreme weather events, intact wetlands in Buljarica act like a giant sponge. They store water, cool the surrounding region, and safeguard the land from flooding and erosion.
Whoever seals off this unique landscape endangers not only the flora and fauna, but also the quality of life for future generations in Montenegro.
How can a national economy attain sustainable autonomy when primary ecological goods are surrendered to short-term capital inflows from international consortia?
Driven by this core question, we are developing tangible alternatives that empower local landowners to value and realize the potential of their land on their own terms.
We develop scientifically grounded concepts for gentle, nature-oriented tourism in Buljarica.
Revenue generated from tourism must remain directly with local families, small businesses, and farmers – rather than vanishing into the pockets of anonymous investors.
We are campaigning for official recognition as a European protected area. This secures funding for the region and protects nature without threatening the livelihoods of the local population.
