Sažetak
Rivers Mura, Drava and Danube are of exceptional importance as one of the last remaining semi-natural lowland watercourses in the Central Europe. This area is characterized by the variety of wet habitats, which are among the most threatened in Europe: flood forests, wet grasslands, stagnant backwater, abandoned riverbeds meanderings, steep banks, river bars etc. Drava and Mura are distribution area of many endangered and protected bird species and present important sites for their conservation. The proposed site provides habitat for many fish, amphibian, reptile and dragonfly species. To conserve these values activities have been undertaken to establish appropriate protected area. It is already under the preliminary protection as regional park and an area of National ecological network. It is also proposed for transboundary UNESCO biosphere reserve. For permanent protection in line with these categories the multidisciplinary study/nomination has to be prepared which will valorize the natural values, propose preliminary zonation and management framework, determine consequences for stakeholders etc. In this poster results of these activities and problems encountered will be presented.
