Križevci Sunny Roofs

In 2018, Križevci inaugurated a fully crowdfunded solar power plant. Located on the roof of the business center, it has a capacity of 30 kilowatts and is expected to save around 11 tons of carbon dioxide per year. The solar energy it produces is used to power the business center, and the surplus is fed into the grid. What is special about this project is that we included our citizens who were investors by giving loans for a period of 10 years within which they will get the deposit with an interest rate of 4.5% back from the income generated by the electricity production of the solar power plant on the roof.

Rehabilitation of sand dunes in the Buna River-Velipoje

The project goal is the rehabilitation of sand dunes in Buna River Estuary, Velipoje, Shkoder, through the planting of 0.8 ha of indigenous plants - which is proposed as the most sustainable and natural solution to prevent coastal erosion.

FEA - Forestry and Environmental Action
Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Application for anonymous reporting of illegal activities in forestry with the help of citizens

The forest ecosystem represents one of the greatest natural wealth’s and therefore has a big significance for the individual. Forests provide the possibility to produce a large amount of oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide, which is why they are often called air filters. They also prevent erosion, torrents, pollution, and water disappearance, and are considered the best and cheapest filter of drinking water. Based on the above facts about the importance of forests, solving the problem of illegal logging with the involvement of all citizens is of great importance. The Law on Nature Protection in Bosnia and Herzegovina defines that every citizen has the right to actively participate in nature protection, as well as to be informed about all activities that take place. The goal of this project is to work with the help of citizens to reduce and prevent the occurrence of illegal activities in forestry with a focus on illegal logging. The goal of the project was to determine the manner of data collecting on illegal logging and achieve a more transparent and complete publication of information in official reports of cantonal administrations. Within the project, a mobile app has been designed to anonymously report illegal activities in forestry to encourage the development of environmental awareness and foster concrete actions to protect natural resources and forests in two pilot areas - Sarajevo Canton and Zenica-Doboj Canton.

Discovering the Diversity of the Alpine Ascomycetous Fungi in Severely Vulnerable Ecosystems of Glacial and Other Mountainous Lakes in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Mycobiota in Bosnia and Herzegovina in general is still poorly studied, while fungal diversity in mountainous lakes is completely unknown. These lakes often represent remote and isolated habitats with harsh weather conditions and pronounce subalpine to alpine climate. In these extreme habitat types, some of the highly endangered and rare fungal species might occur. The aim of this project is therefore to record and identify fungi inhabiting some of the most important glacial and mountainous lakes in Bosnia and Herzegovina to develop a preliminary checklist. Mountains cover large areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina´s territory. With a mean altitude of 625 meters a.s.l. it is one of the highest countries in Southeastern Europe. Most of its mountains belong to the Dinaric Alps that stretch in the northwest-southeast direction through several countries. These mountains are built from different geological components and are home to scattered and various types of freshwater ecosystems many of which are well preserved and isolated primarily thanks to their remoteness and unapproachability. The alpine mycobiota of Southeast Europe is poorly understood in general. A significant number of mountainous lakes exists, which mainly originated from glacial activity in the high mountains of Bosnia and Herzegovina, whose mycobiota is still completely unexplored. Therefore, these specific habitat types could be one of the last well-preserved alpine reservoirs for some extremely rare stenovalent fungal species. [. . .]
