The Krka NP is again this year part of the international eco-project Green Cleanup
The Krka National Park has joined the global volunteer action Green Cleanup; the act of cleaning was carried out on Friday, the 20^th of September 2024, in the area of the Lozovac settlement along the Park's border

Volunteers from Hrvatska poštanska banka, Šibenik branch, and Krka NP's employees collected four trucks of small and medium-sized household waste carelessly thrown into nature near the main Park's entrance. We thank the participants of today's cleaning campaign for their selfless contribution!

In order for nature to remain preserved in its originality, it is very important to dispose of waste in designated places. All medium or larger waste that appears in the household should be disposed of in an appropriate manner. When we talk about a karst area such as the Krka National Park, the danger is all the greater when decomposed waste gets into the porous soil and then, through the underground network, into the water.

For the removal and disposal of household waste, it is possible to contact the municipal service, which will provide a schedule for free removal of such waste or information on how to dispose of it in an emergency procedure.

The Green Cleanup is a joint single-day action of cleaning up illegal dumps of trash and is the largest eco-project in Croatia, which gathers together actively involved citizens and organizations, and is a part of the major international action World Cleanup, started in 2008. It is based on raising awareness about the importance of responsible waste management, with the aim of preserving the environment, nature, and the planet Earth.

Let’s do it, Croatia! One day. One planet. One aim. A million people in one hundred  and fifty countries united in the largest civil action in the history of humanity so as to clean up our planet. On the 16^th of September 2023, volunteers and organizations throughout the world together collected trash from beaches, rivers, forests, and streets. The powerful “Green Wave” of cleaning began in New Zealand, and concluded thirty-six hours later on the Hawaii islands. A million people acted together in this project to achieve a singe goal: a cleaner and healthier planet.
