Rakina bara is a lake about 20 km from the center of
Belgrade (Serbia). It represents an exceptional phenomenon as
the only natural karst lake on the territory of the city. Until 2019,
it was left to decay and the natural processes of the pound areas
decline. Since 2019, the local community has started to deal with
its revitalization and improvement. The citizens' association that
launched the action, in 2022 received the highest recognition of
the city of Belgrade for its undertaking, and the residents of the
suburb where Rakina Bara is located, received a lake that
represents a specific biodiversity niche within the urban
environment. The initiative represents a DIY principle of action,
and its success owes to a specific set of circumstances defined by
the COVID-19 virus pandemic.
The presentation aims to show the cultural and demographic
processes that led to the deterioration of the lake, and then it
aims to present the initiative of the local community... that
organized itself, gathered the necessary knowledge and
resources, to finally implement the actions in the process of
restoring the lake and life within it. The intention of the
presentation is to place the revitalization of the Rakina bara in
the context of the affirmation of environmental activism in Serbia
and to show possible ways of action and activities. On the
example of lake Rakina Bara, we can observe the possibilities of
action of the local community on limited areas. Likewise, it is
possible to show the limitations of that community in meeting
the institutions and their legal frameworks. The existing
regulations for placing sites under state protection are complex
and rigorous. The example of Rakina Bara shows that these
practices are often a limiting factor that leaves certain natural
entities to the carelessness of society and the misuse of private
investors and capital.
