It\u2019s not very functional; the red four-person Volkswagen car is filled with six people, one of whom is in the trunk. The man blocking the view of the road is 67 and has a mustache to be reckoned with. He is a shepherd on the Sinja(je)vina mountain in Montenegro, like the men in the back seat, who seem to be chatting cheerfully in Serbian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, the men are taking a look at their katuns, farm settlements made of wood, straw, and stone. The katuns, with their earth floors, are not livable with temperatures this low. At this time of year, between October and April, nature is simply too harsh to live on the mountain. &#8220;I miss Sinja(je)vina so much in the winter, that\u2019s where I belong,&#8221; says the shepherd sitting to the left of the window. His name is Novak Tomovi\u0107, and as long as he can remember, he has lived hand in hand with nature. He contentedly stares out the drafty car window, which forms a sort of ornamental list for a Bob Ross painting. A thick layer of fog hangs in the air, not breaking the view of the mountaintops but enhancing it. The crystal-clear mountain water flows past the pine trees towards the villages at the foot of Sinja(je)vina.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow

weathered hands, Zoran Milo\u0161evi\u0107, the shepherd in the trunk, grips the light brown leather chair in front of him tightly as the car starts to skid in the thick snow towards the edge of the cliff. Behind the wheel is his son, Miladin Milo\u0161evi\u0107. When his father passes away, he will take over the shepherding role. The chatter turns into serious talk. Without hesitation or complaint, the shepherds get out to clear the road with shovels.

A wind farm on Sinja(je)vina might help with this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe need green energy, but it\u2019s difficult to find a suitable place,\u201d says Mile Glavicanin from the municipality of Kolasin. Although part of Sinja(je)vina falls under this municipality, it has no say in the construction of the wind turbines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018Greengrabbing\u2019 is what Devlin Kuyek calls what\u2019s happening in Montenegro. He is a researcher at GRAIN, an international organization supporting small farmers in their fight for local management. By \u2018greengrabbing,\u2019 he refers to the concept where land is taken for supposedly sustainable projects, often at the expense of local communities and their land rights. &#8220;Traditional communities, who have lived in this area for centuries, are being displaced without consultation to make way for someone else\u2019s agenda,&#8221; he says, concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Due to the Paris Agreement, there is an increasing demand for green energy, and therefore, land. Currently, 20% of all land deals involve greengrabbing. The shepherds of Sinja(je)vina see themselves as the next victims of a global trend. &#8220;It feels like our land is being colonized,&#8221; says one of the shepherds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:5%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:90%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-getwid-images-slider has-arrows-inside has-dots-inside has-images-center has-cropped-images\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-images-slider__wrapper\" data-effect=\"fade\" data-slides-show=\"1\" data-slides-show-laptop=\"1\" data-slides-show-tablet=\"1\" data-slides-show-mobile=\"1\" data-slides-scroll=\"1\" data-autoplay=\"false\" data-pause-hover=\"false\" data-autoplay-speed=\"6000\" data-infinite=\"true\" data-animation-speed=\"800\" data-center-mode=\"false\" data-variable-width=\"false\" data-arrows=\"inside\" data-dots=\"inside\" data-spacing=\"none\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-images-slider__item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1786\" height=\"1215\" src=\"https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_2604-2-3.jpg\" data-id=\"659\" data-link=\"https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/574\/the-battle-of-traditional-shepherds-in-montenegro-against-the-modern-world-i-am-ready-to-die-for-the-mountain\/img_2604-2-4\/#main\" data-original-link=\"https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_2604-2-3.jpg\" class=\"wp-block-getwid-images-slider__image wp-image-659\" srcset=\"https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_2604-2-3.jpg 1786w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_2604-2-3-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_2604-2-3-1024x697.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_2604-2-3-768x522.jpg 768w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_2604-2-3-1536x1045.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1786px) 100vw, 1786px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-images-slider__item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1455\" height=\"1172\" src=\"https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_2240-2.jpg\" data-id=\"660\" data-link=\"https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/574\/the-battle-of-traditional-shepherds-in-montenegro-against-the-modern-world-i-am-ready-to-die-for-the-mountain\/img_2240-3\/#main\" data-original-link=\"https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_2240-2.jpg\" class=\"wp-block-getwid-images-slider__image wp-image-660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_2240-2.jpg 1455w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_2240-2-300x242.jpg 300w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_2240-2-1024x825.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_2240-2-768x619.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1455px) 100vw, 1455px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:5%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is happening in Montenegro is just one example. In various parts of Europe, traditional communities are facing similar struggles that fall under greengrabbing. In Scotland, for example, investors are buying estates for reforestation and carbon offsetting, causing communities to lose access to traditional land use. In Norway, the Sami people fought against the arrival of wind turbines in 2022. The Sami families received compensation, but the turbines were built. In Spain, wind farms and dams are pushing farmers off their land, while in Romania, nature reserves are excluding farmers from centuries-old grasslands. These initiatives are often presented as necessary to address the climate crisis but expose a paradox: they threaten the people who are closest to the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kuyek is deeply concerned: &#8220;The pressure on traditional lifestyles is increasing in this ever-changing world. We are at a crossroads: will these communities survive in the modern world, or not?&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:5px\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:90%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-getwid-images-slider has-arrows-inside has-dots-inside has-images-center has-cropped-images\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-images-slider__wrapper\" data-effect=\"fade\" data-slides-show=\"1\" data-slides-show-laptop=\"1\" data-slides-show-tablet=\"1\" data-slides-show-mobile=\"1\" data-slides-scroll=\"1\" data-autoplay=\"true\" data-pause-hover=\"false\" data-autoplay-speed=\"6000\" data-infinite=\"true\" data-animation-speed=\"800\" data-center-mode=\"false\" data-variable-width=\"false\" data-arrows=\"inside\" data-dots=\"inside\" data-spacing=\"none\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-images-slider__item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_3070-2.jpg\" data-id=\"630\" data-link=\"https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/?attachment_id=630#main\" data-original-link=\"https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_3070-2.jpg\" class=\"wp-block-getwid-images-slider__image wp-image-630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_3070-2.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_3070-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_3070-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_3070-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_3070-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-images-slider__item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_3135.jpg\" data-id=\"631\" data-link=\"https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/?attachment_id=631#main\" data-original-link=\"https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_3135.jpg\" class=\"wp-block-getwid-images-slider__image wp-image-631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_3135.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_3135-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_3135-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_3135-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/nikitadejong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1209\/2025\/01\/IMG_3135-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:5%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The modern life divides\u00a0<\/strong><br>\u201cDo you want to fetch the bread?\u201d asks 63-year-old Mileva Gara Jovanovi\u0107ara to her nephew as she places the homemade lisnati (traditional cheese) on the wooden coffee table.
