Sažetak
Kopački rit is a fluvial, inundated plain, where annual water regime of the Danube and Drava has developed unique eco-system. Some 40 plants communities indicate great diversity and the richness of the flora in this area. The biological diversity of the fauna covers 284 species of insects, 44 species of fishes, 11 species of amphibians, 10 species of reptiles, 285 bird species and 55 mamal species. These impressive numbers also include the rare and endangered speicies: otter, ferruginous duck, white-tailed eagel. However, four animal species have disappeared from the area. A new Law on the Protection of the Nature was passed in 1994, upon the establishment of the independent State of Croatia, and the Special Zoological Preserve was renamed into the Special Zoological Reserve of Kopački rit.
