Croatian forests cover about 47% of the country's land area, making them an essential part of its natural landscape. These forests are home to diverse ecosystems, including beech, oak, and pine trees, which provide habitats for various wildlife species. The forests play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity and supporting local climates. Many of Croatia's forests are protected within national parks, such as Plitvice Lakes and Risnjak. These areas not only preserve the natural environment but also attract tourists who enjoy hiking, birdwatching, and exploring the rich flora and fauna. Sustainable forest management practices are essential for preserving these valuable resources.
