Mount Dinara is Croatia’s tallest mountain, it is also the country’s youngest Nature Park when it was declared that status in 2021.

The mountains, which is part of the Dinaric Alps, commonly known as Dinarides, has many endemic and endangered species and is a habitat to more than a thousand plant varieties.

Association Biom, a civil society organisation in Croatia dedicated to nature conservation, its promotion and popularisation, is focusing their efforts to restore the nature beauty of Dinara.

Association Biom will be presenting their work to Croats living in the USA with a special online lecture next week.

“Mount Dinara with its lush grasslands and cloudy peaks holds a special place in your heart? Or maybe you never heard about Dinara? In that case, now is a good time to discover what makes this mountain so unique! Its pastoral slopes with grazing sheep and horses are disappearing and taking wildlife with it. We at Association Biom in Croatia are doing our best to stop it and to restore it as it once was,” they said.

The online lecture for Croats living in the USA called “Dinara – neglected queen of Croatia is under a threat” will take place next Thursday, October 29th 2022 on Zoom, 6 PM EST.
