Let's change the appearance of our environment

Each of us can influence the change of the environment

We gathered in 2016 and together with like-minded people, nature lovers and bearers of positive changes, founded the citizens' association and the eco-social company Ekonaut. Our basic mission is to contribute to the improvement of the environment and the development of environmental awareness of citizens, which we achieve through numerous projects and activities in the field of agriculture, spatial planning, architecture and landscape architecture, social entrepreneurship, green economy and eco-design.
With the desire to improve the quality of life of the citizens of Belgrade and do something about the long-standing dissatisfaction with the situation in the field of environmental protection, we decided to found the association Ekonaut. We initiated the promotion of the practical concept of urban agriculture through gardening as a hobby, as well as advocating garden communities as tools for sustainable land management. We have organized numerous educational events in the field of gardening and beekeeping in the urban environment. We are particularly focused on the network of stakeholders, decision makers, civil sector, professional associations and other stakeholders with whom we work to create favorable frameworks in the application of various forms of sustainable management of open urban and peri-urban spaces.

Our activities include the implementation of projects in the field of sustainable development and environmental protection, promotion of ecology, environmental rights and sustainable resource management. We are also actively working on establishing a structured dialogue with decision makers at the national and local levels, organizing educational events and producing multimedia content. We cooperate with all sectors, we pay special attention to cooperation with educational institutions and activities that include work with children and youth.
In addition, we help companies that need a different approach to social responsibility to implement activities that will have a positive impact on the environment. We also offer a range of services including arranging and maintaining green areas (urban gardening), service formation and maintenance of beehives (city beekeeping), organizing corporate volunteering actions and creating floral decorations and eco gifts for clients.

Kada u jednom od najzagađenijih delova Beograda, u okolini autobuske stanice, uspete da gajite više od 70 vrsta biljaka, s pravo možete reći da ste urbani baštovan. Ako ta bašta postane stanište pčela, kao što je slučaj sa našim sagovornicima, onda postajete i proizvođač hrane. PROČITAJ CELU VEST

 

Pre nešto više od decenije, kada je uočeno ozbiljno izumiranje pčela, u urbanim sredinama počeo je razvoj pčelarstva. Krovovi zgrada, dvorišta i druga mesta u gradovima postala su novi dom za pčele. Naša sagovornica Sabina Kerić jedna je od osnivača projekta “Beeconnected” koji je nastao 2018, kako bi doprineo razvoju ove pojave u našoj zemlji. PROČITAJ CELU VEST

 

Povodom Svetskog dan pčela, koji se obeležava 20. maja, u Srbiji se pokreće „Incijativa za medonosne bašte“ putem koje grupa organizacija, udruženja, institucija, pčelara, naučnika, ekoloških aktivista, građana i građanki hoće da pomognu pčelama kroz negovanje i zasnivanje površina sa medonosnim biljkama i postavljanje košnica na teritoriji Beograda. PROČITAJ CELU VEST

 

U našem prostoru u Savamali, 7. oktobra održana je dodela sertifikata polazanicima ovogodišnje generacije škole gradskog pčelarstva  „BeeConnected“. Škola je bila namenjena svima koji žele da se edukuju i preuzmu aktivniju ulogu u očuvanju prirode i najvažnijih bića na planeti – pčela. PROČITAJ CELU VEST

Svet je danas teško mesto za život, posebno ako ste pčela, jer je cvet bogat polenom i nektarom sve teže i teže naći. Širenje gradova, klimatske promene i pesticidi vrše pritisak na najvažniju vrstu na planeti, odgovornu za dobar deo hrane koju svakodnevno jedemo. Povodom Svetskog dan pčela, 20. maja, ove godine u Srbiji grupa organizacija, udruženja, institucija, pčelara, naučnika, ekoloških aktivista i građana pokreće ’Incijativu za medonosne bašte’. PROČITAJ CELU VEST

Udruženje Ekonaut, jedno od pokretača inicijative, zato je sastavilo kratku informativnu publikaciju sa 100 biljaka za pčele, da bi svako odabrao prave biljke prema svojim mogućnostima i lako se priključio inicijativi koja planira da do jeseni animira što veći broj ljudi, kompanija, udruženja, škola i svih ostalih voljnih da se priduže ovom poduhvatu kroz različite programe u oblasti baštovanstva i pčelarstva. PROČITAJ CELU VEST

Svako ko već ima neku površinu koja ima elemente medonosne bašte može se priključiti inicijativi preko društvenih mreža i učestvovati od 01. juna do 01. septembra u nagradnom konkursu #medonosnabasta. Svi koji budu delili svoje iskustvo i slike konkurišu za prigodne baštovanske i pčelarske poklone. Pravila i uslovi će biti objavljeni 01. juna preko profila pokretača inicijative na društvenim mrežama saopštilo je Udruženje Ekonaut. PROČITAJ CELU VEST

Odbegli rojevi pčela prvi put u Srbiji dobiće svoj dom, jer je danas, na Svetski dan pčela, počela realizacija projekta „azila za pčele“ u oglednom beogradskom pčelinjaku „Košutnjak“. Istovrmeno, krenula i incijativa za „medonosne bašte“.

Ovaj jedinstven smeštaj i pristup očuvanja zajednice pčela u Srbiji, biće realizovan u saradnji Beogradskog pčelarskog udruženja i kompanije Delez Srbija, koja je zahvaljujući programu lojalnosti „Pčelice stvaralice“ prikupila milion dinara za ovu namenu. PROČITAJ CELU VEST

Pčele, jedan od ključnih činilaca u lancu ishrane, ubrzano nestaju širom planete.

Idustrijska poljoprivreda, korišćenje pesticida, ali i seča drveća i košenje travnjaka po gradovima ugrožavaju ovu životinjsku vrstu.

Pčelama su potrebne biljke koje proizvode nekatar i polen, tako da bašte i u gradskim uslovima treba to da im obezbede, objašnjava Sabina Kerić iz udruženja Ekonaut. PROČITAJ CELU VEST

Kako bismo podstakli zajedničko promišljanje zdravijeg planiranja Beograda, u četvrtak, 19. novembra od 11:00 časova,  organizovali smo online otvoreni razgovor o urbanističkim parametrima, odnosno pravilima uređenja i građenja budućeg Plana detaljne regulacije za linijski park, koji bi omogućili (ili zahtevali) sprovođenje prirodom-inspirisanih rešenja u javnim prostorima i budućim objektima. PROČITAJ CELU VEST

 

Urbanizacija, uništavanje prirodnih netaknutih zelenih površina zarad kreiranja veštačkih ekosistema, zelenih parkova i masovne gradnje stambenih objekata i kompleksa agresivno uništavaju šansu za opstanak biljnih i životinjskih vrsta u gradu, sagalsni su sagovornici Autonomije. Oni napominju da građani ipak postaju svesni važnosti prirodnih ekosistema i postepeno se uključuju u borbu za njihov opstanak. PROČITAJ CELU VEST

 

Ljudsko društvo je, po naučnim podacima, uređeno po sistemu pčelinje zajednice, i to još od mlađeg mezolita i lovačko-sakupljačke privrede. Pčele su glavni uslov opstanka ljudi na planeti, a danas zbog sve većeg tretiranja biljaka pesticidima preti im izumiranje. Gradske pčele, tačnije gajenje ovih insekata u urbanim sredinama, jedan je od uslova za spas pčela ali i čovečanstva. PROČITAJ CELU VEST

 

Projekat Bee Connected, koji ove jeseni obeležava tri godine postojanja, promovisao je na izuzetno konstruktivan način važnost pčela za očuvanje zdrave životne sredine. Realizovane su mnoge akcije, a priča o značaju pčela počela je da dopire do sve više ljudi. PROČITAJ CELU VEST
