This year, it brought together enthusiasts, volunteers, and experts, with the aim of combating <em>pajasen<\/em> or tree-of-heaven (<em>Ailanthus altissima<\/em>), an invasive non-native plant species, and raising awareness about the importance of preserving the natural heritage.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The program generated great interest among volunteers. Fourteen volunteers and twenty employees of the Krka National Park participated in it. The invitation to participate was published on the official website of the Krka National Park, and on platforms dedicated to volunteering within the Parks of Croatia.<\/p>\n<p>During their stay in the Krka National Park, the volunteers actively participated in the fight against ailanthus, a plant that seriously threatens the local ecosystems. Their activities included educational workshops, a demonstration of methods of removing ailanthus in the field, and the practical removal of shoots at different locations in the Park, under the leadership of program manager Katarina Bilu\u0161i\u0107.<\/p>\n<p>Volunteers worked in the area of the \u200b\u200bSkradinski buk waterfall, the Skradin road, Skradin, Remeti\u0107, the Ro\u0161ki slap waterfall, and O\u0107estovo, where they removed thousands of ailanthus shoots, making a significant contribution to the &#8220;<em>Life Contra Ailanthus<\/em>&#8221; project, and thus to the preservation of the natural heritage of the Krka National Park.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to their engagement and recently acquired knowledge about invasive species, the project significantly helped to achieve the final goal: preventing the further spread of ailanthus and increasing the awareness of the harmful impact of invasive plants.<\/p>\n<p>The volunteers had the opportunity to visit eleswhere in the Krka National Park in order to further educate themselves about invasive species and the way the Park functions. They also visited the Dubravice Voluntary Fire-Fighting Company, learning about fire protection measures and how the fire services work.<\/p>\n<p>The program was implemented with the full support of the Krka National Park, which provided the volunteers with accommodation and food in the volunteer center at the Krka Eco Campus in Puljane along with local transportation. The coordinators of volunteer activities, Doris Bani\u0107 and Ivana Marin, made sure that all activities were in accordance with the Law on Volunteering. Volunteers went through a selection and training process, and were insured in case of an accident.<\/p>\n<p>Looking forward to future initiatives aimed at preserving nature and protecting native species in its area, the Krka National Park would like to express its gratitude to the volunteers who participated in the program &#8220;Guardians of native species habitats&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"fotorama rounded-lg  shadow lblue-bg mt-5   \" data-width=\"100%\" data-ratio=\"16\/10\"  data-nav=\"thumbs\" data-autoplay=\"true\" data-arrows=\"true\" data-transition=\"crossfade\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20240911-WA0000.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20240911-WA0001.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20240912-WA0009.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20240912-WA0016.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20240912-WA0020.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20240912-WA0021.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20240912-WA0023.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20240912-WA0024.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20240912-WA0025.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20240912-WA0026.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20240912-WA0027.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20240912-WA0028.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20240912-WA0030.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20240912-WA0033.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20240912-WA0034.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20240912-WA0036.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20240912-WA0041.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20240912-WA0043.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20240912-WA0045.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20240912-WA0049.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20240912-WA0060.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20240912-WA0061.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/div><p>&nbsp;<\/p><br \/>\n[\/en]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The volunteer program called &#8220;Guardians of native species habitats&#8221;, launched last year, took place from September 2 to 11, 2024.
