Reke Mura, Drava i Dunav teku kroz Austriju, Sloveniju, Hrvatsku, Mađarsku i Srbiju, i stvaraju jedno od najvećih vlažnih staništa na svetu – Evropski Amazon.
Evropski Amazon (TBR MDD) postao je prvo zaštićeno područje na svetu kojim zajedno upravlja pet zemalja, a koji je prepoznao UNESCO. Film Amazona u srcu Evrope je priča o ovom području, koje svake godine više od 250.000 ptica bira kao odmaralište i hranilište pre nego što nastave putovanje na jug.
Iako u kratkom vremenskom periodu nije lako promeniti ustaljenu praksu upravljanja vodama, WWF Adria ulaže napore kako bi implementirali prirodna rešenja koja će biti korisna za staništa i vrste koje tamo žive, i doprineti boljoj zaštiti od poplava i povećanju rekreativne vrednosti tog područja.
The rivers Mura, Drava, and Danube flow through Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary, and Serbia, creating one of the largest wetland habitats in the world – the European Amazon. The European Amazon (TBR MDD) has become the world’s first protected area jointly managed by five countries and recognized by UNESCO.
The film Amazon at the Heart of Europe tells the story of this region, which over 250,000 birds choose every year as a resting and feeding ground before continuing their journey southward.
Although it is not easy to change long-standing water management practices in a short time, WWF Adria is investing efforts to implement nature-based solutions that benefit both the habitats and species living there. These solutions also help improve flood protection and enhance the recreational value of the area.
