Biodiversity and protected areas

Croatia includes 3 of the 11 biogeographical regions present in Europe: Alpine, Continental and Mediterranean, but also there are some elements of the Pannonian region. The number of known taxa (species and subspecies) is almost 38,000 (table 8.1). Many species are under threat or at different levels of threat. The most vulnerable are freshwater fish, reptiles, amphibians, dragonflies and birds (table 8.2).
