Sažetak
We present the 1st Croatian National Report to the EU Commission on the progress and implementation of Article 17 of the Habitats Directive during the period 2013-2018. The main objective of the Directive is to maintain and restore a favourable conservation status for habitat types and species of community interest. Conservation status (CS) is the overall assessment of a habitat or a species status, within a Member State’s biogeographical or marine region. The CS of a species is evaluated through range, population and habitat, while habitat types are assessed through their range, area, structure and functions, as well as future prospects. The reports also include information on the main pressures and threats as well as conservation measures. Here we present the reports for habitat type Caves not open to the public (8310), cave species Leptodirus hochenwartii (4019), Proteus anguinus (1186), Congeria kusceri (4065) and Congeria jalzici (6922). Our evaluations show that only Leptodirus hochenwartii has a favourable conservation status in all three biogeographical regions. The CS for Congeria kusceri was assessed as unfavourable-inadequate, while for Congeria jalzici and Proteus anguinus it was assessed as unknown. The CS in the Alpine and Mediterranean biogeographical regions for habitat type Caves not open to the public was assessed as unfavourable-inadequate, but as unfavourable-bad in the continental region. The highest registered negative impact on C. kusceri were agricultural activities, whereas C. jalzici and P. anguinus, as well as habitat type Caves not open to the public are endangered by hydropower infrastructure, the deposition of waste and discharge of urban wastewater. Although we recognized no high impact pressures or threats for L. hochenwartii, illegal collecting, with medium impact, is still a substantial pressure.
