“Conflicts, Militarization and the Environment” — Is There a Hidden Connection?

Conflicts, militarization, and the environment were the focus of the second public lecture of the School of Political Ecology, held on December 3, with presentations by researchers Dr. Julie Klinger and Dr. Aleksandar Matković. The lectures and the accompanying discussion examined how armed conflicts, geopolitical tensions, and the current wave of intensified militarization affect nature and society. Held online via the Zoom platform, this public lecture connected issues of security, geopolitics, and ecology, creating space for reflection on alternatives to militarized approaches to natural and social crises.

Dr. Čanak Atlagić: Studenica Is a River of Indigenous and Protected Species — Urgent Protection of Its Entire Course Is Needed

Most of the course of the Studenica River lies within the “Golija–Studenica” Biosphere Reserve, which was designated in 2001 as Serbia’s first UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The inaccessible terrain carved by the Studenica River has contributed to the preservation of a rich diversity of plant and animal life. This area has exceptional natural and cultural value and is rich in endemic and relict species—species that exist only in a limited area and those that have survived here since ancient times.
