Sažetak
The primary legislative instrument in the field of nature conservation at the European Union level is established by the Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (The Habitats Directive), and Directive 2009/147/EC on the conservation of wild birds (The Birds Directive). Natura 2000 is a coherent ecological network composed of two types of protection areas: Sites of Special Importance (SCIs) under the Habitats Directive, and Special Protection Areas (SPAs) under the Birds Directive. Natura 2000 network in Croatia comprises 20, 755 km2 (37% of land territory), and includes 783 areas: 38 SPAs, and 745 SCIs. Ecological monitoring of habitats has been a widespread tool to record and assess changes in quality of target and priority habitat types, listed in Annex I of the Habitats Directive. The Danube River in part of its middle course flows throughout the Republic of Croatia, in length of 137.5 km. Fieldwork activities in habitat monitoring were done during 2020 and 2021 year, within three SCIs Natura 2000 areas, situated along the Danube River course: HR 2001309 Danube North of Kopački Rit ; HR 2000394 Kopački Rit, and HR 2000372 Danube-Vukovar. Total of 7 target habitat types had been surveyed, which are classified in following groups with designated codes: Freshwater habitats (3130, 3150, 3270), Natural and semi-natural grasslands (6250, 6440), and Forests (91E0, 91F0). Two habitats: 6250 and 91E0 belongs also to priority habitat types. Part of the ecological monitoring in the SCI HR 2000394 Kopački Rit, was done as activity of the project: “Demining, Restoration and Protection of Forest and Forestland in Protected and Natura 2000 Sites in Danube-Drava Regions – NATURAVITA”. This project is supported within the framework of the Operational Programme Competitiveness and Cohesion 2014-2020, and the European Regional Development Fund.
