Sažetak
The Cave Cadaster of the Republic of Croatia is the culmination of a long history of cave research and organized gathering of data on caves. It was established by the State Institute for Nature Protection (at present Ministry of Environment and Energy), which provides the financial and technical support and coordination, in collaboration with numerous Croatian caving clubs, which provide verified data. Currently, 27 caving clubs, along with Croatian Geological Survey, are involved in the Cadaster, which now comprises of 2448 verified caves and 424 caves awaiting verification. This is still less than 30% of all explored caves in Croatia, assuming that the estimate of 10.000 explored caves is correct. The Cadaster was a response to the vast knowledge on caves in Croatia, scattered in numerous archives of caving clubs and thousands of publications of both speleological and biospeleological nature. The need to organize the data, resolve countless synonyms, verify decades old information and make them available to the caving community as well as the Croatian Nature Protection Sector and public institutions dealing with protecting life and property led to its creation in 2015. Generalized data are available to public through web portal of NPIS Bioportal (http://www.bioportal.hr/). High quality data is a priority, maintained by a complex methodology for data collection. This data will provide the basis for biospeleological analyses along with faunistic data compiled under CroFauna database. Both databases are a part of the Nature Information Protection System, and will be available to expert community for research and conservation planning.
