C hurch bells herald my arrival at the Bohinj Park Hotel , the starting point of my green tour of Slovenia. After my initial shock, though, I remind myself that Slovenia—smaller than the state of Vermont—is a treasure trove of the unexpected and undiscovered. When Slovenia launched a branding campaign in 2007, green tourism was its natural pitch. Slovenia, you might say, is Central Europe’s green mouse that roars. Slovenia is indeed blessed with unspoiled resources.

I am in search of some of Slovenia’s best eco-tourist farms , and my way is up, up, up, on mountain roads that prove an adventure in themselves. Even on the Slovenia tourist maps the Jezersko area gets little attention, as it offers few places to stay, no information services, and attractions you mostly need to discover on your own. avsko is Slovenia’s only Alpine EDEN destination. Slovenia, part 2: up on the eco-tourist farm is a post from: Green Traveler Guides.

While it happened to be the beautiful aqua-blue Soča River in Slovenia that they chose, it could just have easily been the Tara River in Montenegro, the upper Neretva River in Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Vjosa in Albania, or any number of other rivers and streams in the region — they all share the quality of being dream-like, beautiful and largely a secret to most of the world.

On the occasion of the third observance of World Bee Day, on 20 May 2020, FAO, in partnership with the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS), the Permanent Representation of Slovenia and Apimondia, will hold a virtual celebration. The International Day to respect the bees. Mostly we ignore the international world days. But a day for the bees? Yes, time to celebrate. Time to bring out the Ethiopian honey beer. Or brew some honey ale like they do in the White House.

The beginning of the northern summer is a good time (as any) to dream of some of the most biodiverse places on Earth. No, I am not talking of Brazil or Columbia, they are not just in the tropics but more importantly, they are officially huge.

And I am inside the southern tip of the western Balkan Dinara-Pindos population range, stretching from Slovenia in the north to Greece in the south, with 2,500 bears. In the most of Europe, Brown Bear is a mythical creature that lives only in mediaeval tapestries and folk tales. It has become extinct, one may say, but such formulation hides the gruesome fact: it has been exterminated. By us.

Concerns about the dramatic decline in bee populations around the world in recent years has resulted in a continent-wide ban in Europe on insecticides that allegedly causes serious harm to bees.

All of it reflected on the glassy surface of Lake Bled, Slovenia. We were gathered in a typically mundane meeting room, with chairs arranged in a u-shape facing a screen of PowerPoint slides. But the floor-to-ceiling window behind us framed something far from typical: a castle, wreathed in fog, draped over a cliff with fir trees projecting from its rocky crevices.

Fossil fuel burning yielding the greenhouse gas (GHG) carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major component of man-made global warming. In relation to carbon pollution from the burning of fossil fuels, Net Carbon Debt is equal to the Historical Carbon Debt (from fossil fuel burning since the start of the Industrial Revolution in circa 1750) minus the Carbon Credit (the residual carbon pollution from fossil fuel burning permitted between now and zero emissions in 2050).
