Portuguese representatives from 15 LAGs (Local Action Groups) arrived to exchange experiences on sustainable use of natural and cultural resources in the protected area of the Nature Park.
Covering an area of 50,650 hectares in the alluvial plain of the Sava River between Sisak and Stara Gradiška, Lonjsko Polje is crucial for flood defence, serving as a vast natural retention area during high water levels. This has resulted in various types of wet forests, meadows, and pastures.
The area encompasses 12,000 hectares of pastureland.
Lonjsko Polje is an important habitat for birds and birdwatching is a popular activity there.
