Magnificent scenes of the Krka River as seen through the eyes of our staff

Enjoy this diverse virtual photo gallery prepared for you by the staff of Krka National Park in commemoration of Planet Earth Day.

 The Krka through the Eyes of Staff is a promotional campaign launched by the Public Institute of Krka National Park to celebrate this year’s edition of International Planet Earth Day. The Krka is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for countless world travellers and nature lovers, and also for the local population and park employees.

The park staff have the opportunity to observe the park on a daily basis, and this year they are the focus of this campaign to display the lavish details of the Krka that remain hidden to most visitors. Take a look at the photographs of the plant and animal world, Bilušića buk, Manojlovac, the medieval fortresses and canyons, Roški slap, Torak, Visovac and Skradinski buk in the virtual gallery.

Every visit to the park is a unique experience, and spring is the time when we start to spend more time outdoors. Boat rides, bicycles routes, educational walking trails and the viewpoints of Krka National Park have enabled a true in-depth experience, of all the senses, of nature and its magnificent landscapes, and direct insight into the wealth of flora and fauna of the terrestrial and aquatic habitats. By celebrating Planet Earth Day, we want to raise public awareness of the dangers threatening life on Earth, and of the need to protect our environment and conserve the biological diversity, ensuring suitable conditions for the coexistence of humans and nature.

Climate change largely affect processes in nature and in ecosystems. In building healthy ecosystems, protected areas play a fundamental role. As areas dedicated to protecting nature, and established for the purpose of the long-term conservation of nature, protected areas significantly contribute to ecosystem renewal. They are a successful response to the negative impacts of climate change and environmental pollution.

Raising awareness of the need for environmental protection and working together towards that aim are fundamental requirements for the sustainable development of humankind and for protecting the health of our planet.
