Abstract

Of the total area of Croatia, 56.598 km2, 6,106 km2 are protected in category of national (8) and nature parks (12), which makes 10.9% of the entire territory of Croatia, or 7% if the sea area is taken into account. Based on literature data and data from our own research for these areas, a list of 291 bird species have been recorded in all eight national parks, 348 bird species in 12 nature parks. This is 86% of all known birds species recorded so far out of 402 species recorded in our country [1,2].
