On 14 March, International Day of Action for Rivers, the documentary "Komarnica: The Wild That Remains" will premiere. An exclusive pre-screening webinar on 12 March will offer an early look, while a growing petition continues to rally international support for the protection of the Komarnica River.

The Montenegrin Ministry of Environment, together with EuroNatur and its Montenegrin partner organisations CZIP and CDE-MES, has signed a memorandum of understanding to improve the protection of the Morača.

During the summer of 2025, photographer Bruno D'Amicis was tasked with capturing all the unique aspects that make Komarnica Canyon in Montenegro special. His expedition there reminds us of the many reasons this place is worth protecting.

The Komarnica River will continue to flow freely through its eponymous canyon - at least for the time being. The project has been temporarily halted, but not cancelled.

Delayed environmental review and decision-making raise serious concerns over transparency and governance. Procedural failures and legal shortcuts undermine public trust in Montenegro’s environmental commitments.

POSTPONED: From June 6-8, river defenders will once again gather at Komarnica for a pivotal edition of the Camp on Komarnica. This year's gathering carries special significance, as the campaign to protect the Komarnica River approaches a crucial decision point from the Environmental Protection Agency.

The battle to preserve the pristine Komarnica Canyon in Montenegro has reached a critical stage. Check out the latest updates and learn how you can get involved.
