Abstract

Ravni Kotari is registered as an important area for the conservation of endangered species and habitat types in Zadar County stretching from the town of Nin and the Karin Sea in the northwest to the Krka River in the south-east, the Bukovica region in the north-east and the city of Zadar in the south-west. It is an area characterized by agricultural production, especially in fruit and vegetable growing and more recently in viticulture, winemaking and olive growing. For this work, scientific data and other sources were collected and analyzed, and the state and challenges of conservation and agricultural use were identified. Specific challenges are to preserve a mosaic of agricultural areas, grasslands and forests, and a good state of water bodies, with sustainable production as suitable habitats for the conservation of target species. The research determined the spatial coverage of Natura 2000 target habitat types important for agriculture in Ravni Kotari.
