World Dragonfly Week

The Public Institute of Krka National Park will join in the celebration of World Dragonfly week on 24 July by decorating Roški slap waterfall in a magical way. Alongside the exhibit of dragonfly and damselfly photographs by artist Petar Sabol, the youngest visitors will be able to make dragonflies from various materials.

The dragonflies and damselflies are a group of invertebrates whose life cycle connects the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. They first appeared on Earth about 320 million years ago, keeping their original form all this time. There are 38 species of dragonflies and damselflies inhabiting Krka National Park, and 9 of these have been included on the Red List of Dragonflies of Croatia. At the international level, there are more and more events aimed at raising awareness of the importance of these species for the environment, as they are indicators of a clean environment and habitat quality. Unfortunately, dragonflies are threatened by industrial pollution, watercourse regulation and the drying out of wetland habitats, and their numbers are declining.

This year, World Dragonfly Week is celebrated from 17 to 25 July.

We are privileged to be involved in nature conservation, and we are aware that wisdom and knowledge are virtues to be achieved. That is why education is one of our fundamental tasks; it is contained within every project the institution carries out. The greatest advantage of knowledge is that it is transferrable, that those that know the Krka the best are its best spokespersons, and those who know how we can preserve the environment are its best bet for the future. This is why we pay special attention to children, in order to better acquaint them with their local environment, to visit the sites they learn about and to be advocates for nature conservation and cultural and historical heritage and the drivers of new values in environmental protection.
