The area of the park is characterized by a great diversity of ecosystems and habitats, and a large number of speleological objects in a small area – 9 speleological objects.Its many underground karst forms make up a qurter of the total number of protected cave facilities in Croatia. The Public Institution is established in 2006 with activities of protection, mainteance, utilization and promoting of geomorphological monuments of nature in the area of Perušić. Currently PI has four employees – director of the PI, scientific and research assistant – geographer – geoecologist, supervisor and economist. Since establishement, PI conducted many project related to speleological, biospeleological, geological, geomorphological and biological research. In the year, 2012. PI started with the process of enlargement of the park boundaries (from 595,5ha to 5.500ha) and re-categorization in the category of the regional park. In addition, PI is conducting awareness raising actions involving local citizens and volunteers from all over Europe. The main aim of the PI is that nature conservation must be integral: based on the protection of species and their habitats, as well as monitoring and controlling of the processes and activities that threaten the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources.PI work a lot on education and has designed program of ecological-educational workshops for pupils. The basic idea of all workshop`s is to acquaint children with the importance of preserving nature for future generations - exploring the concept of sustainable development. In each workshop, special attention is paid to the features of karst topography, environmental conditions and problems in karst areas. Most of the visitors in the park are children and pupils but during the summer seasons park is visited by many foreign tourists.
The challenge is to improve the well-being of the local“s , learn more about mysterious world of karst and sustainable tourism.
Together with our volunteers, we aim to enrich the people's understanding and appreciation of karst ecosystem through various outreach activities.
Together with our volunteers we will share the responsibility of caring for our environment, conserve and protect it for the benefits of our future generations
