Morača & Tara

Morača and Tara Rivers

As some of the last remaining wild rivers in Europe, Montenegro’s Morača and Tara rivers stand as monuments of extraordinary natural importance. The Tara River, home to the world’s second-largest canyon, showcases the grandeur of wild landscapes, while the Morača River, brimming with rich biodiversity, is the next candidate after Vjosa to attain “wild river national park” status.

Sentient

Sentient unites environmentalists, biologists, legal experts, storytellers, artists, filmmakers, and tech innovators with the purpose of inspiring a new era of river conservation. Our belief is that cross-disciplinary efforts can transform the preservation of river biodiversity and stop dam projects through sophisticated monitoring technology, legal reforms, and reimagined narratives. Our unique AI river chat lends a voice to nature, fostering an understanding and acknowledgement of its inherent rights.

Working with organizations such as the GARN Network and River Watch, we direct our efforts towards safeguarding Montenegro’s wild rivers while broadening our influence throughout the Balkans and the world. With technology, storytelling, and ecological stewardship as our tools, we advocate for the protection of these indispensable waterways.

We invite you to join us in our mission: to inspire consciousness and carve out a sustainable future for these life-giving arteries of the world and the blue heart of Europe. Together, we have the power to reshape the story of river conservation.
