VALUES OF LONJSKO POLJE NATURE PARK IN INTERNATIONAL FRAMEWORKS
Lonjsko Polje Nature Park is one of the largest and best preserved natural floodplains in Europe. Every year the waters of the Sava River and its tributaries flow into Lonjsko, Poganovo and Mokro polje. Thanks to such periodic flooding, the Nature Park is a unique treasure trove of biodiversity not only in Croatia, but on the entire Old Continent.
Lowland floodplain forests of pedunculate oak and field ash are the most representative deciduous forest complexes and on a larger scale - in the entire Western Palearctic. When flood waters recede into the Sava riverbed, wet grasslands become one of the last areas in Europe where traditional grazing has been preserved. There, cattle graze freely on large common pastures.
This area is a habitat for more than two thirds of the total bird population in Croatia. Their stability depends on the preservation and compactness of large complexes of lowland floodplain forests and grasslands.
The area is also one of the most important river fish hatcheries in the entire Danube basin. Ecological processes and flood dynamics have shaped a specific way of traditional land use by creating a unique mosaic of anthropogenic and natural habitats important for the conservation of biological and landscape diversity.
From the first records of the settlement of the area along the middle course of the Sava River, people lived in harmony with nature. The local population has preserved the traditional way of life to this day. Extensive grazing of cattle, horses and pigs (including several indigenous breeds such as Slavonian-Srijem Podolian cattle and Turopolje pigs) and the preservation of unique traditional architecture of wooden houses make this area a unique example of natural, landscape and cultural heritage. The basic land use activities are grazing, hunting, fishing, forestry and water management.
The natural floodplains of Lonjsko, Mokro and Poganovo polje play a key role in the flood defense system and in the international context are one of the first examples in the world where flood defense is based on the use of natural floodplains.
