Tara National Park: fog catchers for Pančić's spruce

Protecting a living fossil on Europe's last wild mountain Tara National Park won the Green Innovation Leaders 2026 award for conserving the unique Crveni potok peat bog, the only place on Earth where Pančić's spruce (Picea omorika) grows on sphagnum moss rather than rock. Rangers and biologists installed fog catchers to stabilise moisture as drought and heat threaten this relict Balkan forest. What you can do - Visitors: walk marked trails around Mitrovac and Zaovine; follow park guidance and stay on paths in protected reserves - Volunteers and students: contact Nacionalni park Tara about guided visits and conservation programmes - Neighbourhood groups: learn from Tara's fog-catcher pilot as a replicable tool for drought-stressed wetlands How it works Fine mesh nets condense atmospheric moisture into storage basins, supplementing the bog's water budget through dry seasons. The project partners with the University of Belgrade Faculty of Biology under the EU Green Agenda for Serbia initiative. Why it matters Pančić's spruce survived ice ages; climate change is its next test. Tara shows that local stewardship and appropriate technology can buy time for irreplaceable biodiversity.
