"Shining forest, singing forest"Zahvaljujući podršci Ambasada Velike Britanije i Danske, kompanija Telenor, Actavis, Novo Nordisk, Beoguma, Paragraf CO d.o.o, Paragraf Lex d.o.o, hotela Hyatt Regency Beograd, novinske agencije Tanjug, PS Fashion-a, studija Orange, istaknutih pojedinaca i građana, za godinu dana kampanje "Šuma blista, šuma peva" u Nacionalnom parku Tara posađena su 9562 stabla jele i smrče. About ProjectThe 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.
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.
The process of planting and maintaining of Tara forest will be financed from the sale of Muniments and labels "Forest Shining, Forest Singing". Purchasing these muniments, the owners of private vehicles provide planting and maintenance of two fir or spruce trees for one year, and thus contribute to the fight for a cleaner and healthier Serbia! The muniments are legally protected and printed at the National Institute for Manufacturing Serbian Banknotes. The price of muniments is 500 dinars for individuals and 1000 dinars for companies. Along with the muniment, a buyer receives a self-adhesive car-sticker with the campaign’s message "Polluted - Planted"! Telenor Company in Fight against Climate ChangesTelenor Company has helped the Fund Ecotopia's campaign "Shining Forest, Singing Forest" by purchasing 4000 muniments and organizing forestation of the National Park Tara. On October 31, 2009 around 30 employees of this company planted 200 seedlings in the area known as "Pozariste". On the occasion of the continuation of the cooperation between Telenor and the first Serbian environmental fund Ecotopia, all Telenor's customers who were signing contracts from 5 to 12 November received the muniment as evidence that they supported the action of forestation in the National Park Tara. In this way, new users have been given an opportunity to "adopt" a tree and provide for its one-year care. The cooperation with the Fund has also been marked by the continuation of Recycling Used Mobile Phones action. New clients who brought used mobile phones when signing contracts were given special offers.
The successful cooperation between Telenor and the Fund Ecotopia has been marked at Telenor shop in Knez Mihailova 24. On that occasion, the attendees were addressed by the Assistant of the Minister of Environment and Spatial Planning - Rade Momirov, President of the Fund Ecotopia - Srdja Popovic and Executive Sales and Marketing Director at Telenor - Marek Slacik. The Assistant of the Minister of Environment said that "the ministry supports any action that contributes to the preservation of nature". He added that "creation and expansion of forest ecosystems is just one of many solutions to the problem of climate change that ought to be an imperative. Our ministry conducts various programs on Tara, by merging the work of various environmental organizations, which contributes to the increasing environmental awareness of all citizens of the Republic of Serbia". President of the Assembly of the Fund Ecotopia, Srdja Popovic, said that "together with the National Park Tara, the Institute for Nature Protection of Serbia and with large companies, the fund announced the fight against climate changes in the campaign "Shining Forest, Singing Forest". Our goal is to enable every citizen of Serbia to adopt, foster and maintain their tree, and thus redeem their personal "carbon footprint" created daily, whenever we use a mobile phone or car". "Telenor Company is the first partner in this serious endeavor. The first 4000 planted trees in the NP Tara are an excellent beginning of our mission to combat climate change", he added. The partnership between Ecotopia Fund and Telenor will be continued in 2010. Kompanija ACTAVIS zasadila 2000 stabalaTARA - U okviru projekta "Šuma blista, šuma peva", koji zajedno sprovode Fond Ecotopia i Nacionalni park Tara, više od 250 zaposlenih farmaceutske kompanije Actavis zasadilo je u subotu, 17. aprila 2010. godine, 2000 stabala dajući svoj doprinos očuvanju prirodnih resursa Tare.
Kupovinom 1000 Tapija za 2000 sadnica zaposleni kompanije Actavis ličnim primerom dali su doprinos ovoj akciji. Do sada smo sa kompanijama partnerima zasadili oko 6000 stabala, rekao je predsednik Skupštine fonda Srđa Popović i dodao da je cilj da se, u naredne dve godine na području Tare, zasadi 18.000 stabala jele i smrče i na taj način doprinese biodiverzitetu Tare.
Akciju Fond Ecotopia "Šuma blista, šuma peva" do sada su podržale Ambasade Velike Britanije i Danske, kompanija Telenor, Actavis, Beoguma, hotel Hyatt Regency Beograd, časopis National geographic, studio Orange i galerija O3ONE. International School of Belgrade joined "Shining Forest, Singing Forest" action
The pupils collected the money by selling their own works. Owing to this help, 768 more fir and spruce trees will be planted in the National Park Tara. At the event organized on the occasion, President of the Fund Ecotopia talked with children about why it is important to take care of the environment, about the project "Shining Forest, Singing Forest" and future actions of the Fund Ecotopia. Responding to various questions, Mr Popovic thanked the pupils for their help and invited them to "plant the trees on Tara together" in the fall.
Ambasada Velike Britanije zasadila 100 stabala na TariPredstavnici Ambasade Velike Britanije posadili su 100 stabala Nacionalnom parku Tara i tako se simbolično priključili globalnom pokretu "10:10".
"Ambasada Velike Britanije je akcijom sadnje na Tari pokazala da ne samo da promoviše standarde u oblasti zelene politike, već i daje svoj puni doprinos boljoj ekološkoj slici Srbije. Korak dalje predstavljaće i inicijativa Fonda Ecotopia i Ambasade Velike Britanije za osnivanje neformalne "Zelene mreže", koju bi činili predstavnici Ambasada u Beogradu. Cilj "Zelene mreže" biće pokretanje zajedničkih ekoloških projekata radi poboljšanja životne sredine u našoj zemlji." 10:10 globalni pokret, u okviru kojeg Fond Ecotopia i Ambasada Velike Britanije sprovode 10:10 Zelenu nedelju, nastao je iz želje da se u fokus javnosti stavi pitanje smanjenja emisija štetnih gasova, ali i da se izvrši pritisak na donosioce odluka da učine sve što je u njihovoj moći kako bi se za 10 odsto smanjio uticaj ugljen-dioksida na planetu. Ambasada Kraljevine Danske i kompanija Novo Nordisk posadile 800 sadnica smrčeZaposleni u Ambasadi Kraljevine Danske i farmaceutskoj kompaniji Novo Nordisk posadili su, proteklog vikenda, 800 sadnica smrče u Nacionalnom parku Tara i tako se priključili kampanji Fonda Ecotopia - "Šuma blista, šuma peva". Akcija pošumljavanja sprovedena je na obronku Tare iznad Bajine bašte poznatijem kao Zelenika koji je stradao u klimatskim promenama 1996. godine. Tom prilikom vrtložni vetar jačine mini tornada iz Bosne prešao je u Srbiju i počupao veliki broj stabala, čime je narušen biodiverzitet jedne od najlepših srpskih planina.
Actavis šuma bogatija za 1000 stabala
Prošle godine, više od 250 zaposlenih u kompaniji Actavis iz Beograda i Leskovca, zajedno sa mnogobrojnim poslovnim partnerima i predstavnicima medija posadilo je 2000 sadnica. - Učešćem građana i društveno odgovornih kompanija i stranih misija, na Tari je za dve godine posađeno oko 10.000 stabala jela i smrče. Projekat "Šuma peva, šuma blista" osim što predstavlja najveću masovnu sadnju pokazuje i da su građani ekološki svesni i spremni da zajedno sa nama rade na poboljšanju životne sredine – rekla je izvršna direktorka Fonda Ecotopia Suzana Đorđević.
- I ove godine sadnjom novih sadnica i održavanjem Actavis šume želimo da pokažemo važnost brige za prirodu i okruženje.

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!
