"Shining Forest, Singing Forest"

29.03.2010.

The campaign "Shining Forest, Singing Forest" was created as a response to increasingly dramatic climate changes that have caused extreme droughts and floods, high temperatures and cold winters, ice melting on the North Pole, partly extinction of the Amazon forests, which all resulted in the planet’s biodiversity changes.

Climate changes have caused arable land reduction, water shortages, increase in food prices and the need for biofuels that have mostly affected poor population. Climate changes have primarily affected the health of people all over the world!

Frequent climate changes are the reason why Fund Ecotopia launched a campaign "Shining Forest, Singing Forest" in the National Park Tara on May 22, 2009, on the International Biodiversity Day. The campaign's first-stage objective is to have 10 hectares of forest on the Tara Mountain reconstructed in the next two years, in the area that has been destroyed by a mini tornado a few years ago. The devastated area would be replanted with 18,000 seedlings, of which 10,000 of spruce and 8,000 of fir for the sake of sustaining the natural balance of NP Tara.
