Maybe no other European country has such diverse, yet so preserved rivers as Croatia. Adriatic coast is world-known, crystal clear sea, rocky coastline with ancient stone towns...The sea is however not the only richness of the Croatia. Its rivers are surely one of the most important values. From murky and slow lowland rivers that flood huge floodplains; through short and fast mountainous rivers that flush on rapids; then rivers in Karlovac region with travertine waterfalls and slow, almost marshy parts with lush vegetation; quiet rivers in karst polje that are lost in the dark underground only to spring at other place; until big Adriatic rivers in deep barren canyons with waterfalls, that meet the sea in narrow estuaries like Zrmanja or wide delta like Neretva.

Hungary detects fresh case of African swine fever in wild boar

BUDAPEST (Reuters) – Hungary detected a fresh case of African swine fever in wild boar this week but the disease has not spread to domestic pigs, the national food safety authority NEBIH said.

Russia’s agriculture safety watchdog on Monday introduced temporary restrictions on pig and pork imports from Hungary due to an outbreak of the disease in Heves region in eastern Hungary where the fresh case was also detected.

“In Hungary so far the African swine fever has only been identified by laboratory tests in wild boars,” NEBIH said in a reply to Reuters questions late on Thursday.

It said Heves county was the most at risk from the disease at the moment. On Thursday, China said it had banned imports of pigs, wild boars and pig-related products from Hungary following the Heves case.

When the first case was detected late last month, NEBIH introduced measures including an organized search for wild boar carcasses and temporarily suspended hunting in the affected area. According to the NEBIH website, so far the disease has been identified in seven dead wild boars.

“This (measure) will remain in place until authorities manage to clarify the extent of the infection,” NEBIH said, adding that after that hunting of wild boars will be encouraged.

African swine fever is a highly contagious disease that affects pigs and wild boar and has been spreading in Eastern Europe in recent years. It does not affect humans.

Germany issued a decree in February to allow hunters to shoot wild boar year-round to stop the animals, which can carry African swine fever, from passing the deadly infection on to farm pigs.

While no case has yet been detected in Germany’s wild boar population, the spread of the disease in eastern Europe has been causing immense concern in Germany.

Hungary’s neighbor, Romania, reported an outbreak of African swine fever among backyard pigs in the town of Micula in the north of the country, some 7 km from the border with Hungary and Ukraine, earlier this year.

Croatia Vacation - Character Park Kopacki Rit

https://www.via-croatia.com/ Kopacki Rit is a character park located in the japanese part of Croatia, within the Baranja region. It is also located in close proximity to the country's border to Serbia. In 1993, it was selected as a Wetland of Global Value, considered to be the premier of its type in the continent. This designation stems from the fact that the park supports a massive number of wildlife species, such as birds, and lush vegetation. Amongst the birds frequently sighted in the location are wild ducks, wild geese, black storks, white storks, white-tailed eagles, seagulls, terns, and kingfishers. The region also bears the moniker as the pearl of the Drava, becoming situated alongside the river Drava. This Croatian character park is house to quite a few animal species, even the uncommon and endangered kinds. This has lead to the designation of a element of Kopacki Rit as a particular zoological reserve. In simple fact, a great deal of work and study have been carried out to document the species residing in the spot. Yet another illustration of the ecological relevance of the park is for the duration of spring when the flooding of the wetland occurs. It is during this time that freshwater fishes from the Danube river arrive to the spot to spawn. Simply because of this, Kopacki Rit enjoys a special standing granted by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is also throughout spring that the entire location will come alive with the cacophony of noise manufactured by 1000's of frogs. Guided Excursions - The Greatest Way To Explore The Park Most explorations of the park are carried out by means of organized excursions, exactly where website visitors are lead away from some of the dangerous parts of the park. In these components, de-mining is even now an ongoing process. Most of these excursions are organized and depart from the city of Osijek, and might contain outdoor actions like boating, hiking, and fishing during the designated months. Fascinated site visitors only require to inquire with licensed tour operators to know of the actions awaiting them. Since this park is also positioned on the confluence of the rivers Drava and Danube, a lot of the wetland is affected seriously by these bodies of h2o. The periodic inundation and economic downturn of drinking water has led to a dynamic landscape of the Kopacki Rit. There are also numerous lakes that include to the uniqueness of this setting. The biodiversity and unique ecosystem supported by this park are the aspects that add to its ecological benefit. Following the period of fish spawning, birds flock to the wetland to feast on the smaller fishes and to mate. Animals this kind of as otters and boars also feast on the amphibians and fishes still left driving when the water recedes. This is also the time when vegetation proliferates, with the soil wealthy with minerals remaining powering by the floodwater. The spot is also home to quite a few plant species, some of which discovered nowhere else in Europe and in the planet. Though the location has experienced damages thanks to armed conflicts in the nation, there is even now no arguing of the ecotourism likely of Kopacki Rit. This simple fact is well acknowledged by its local administrators and international corporations seeking to preserve this wetland for posterity.
