The Krka National Park is again this year part of the international eco-project Green Cleanup

The Krka National Park has joined the global volunteer action Green Cleanup. The act of cleaning was carried out on Friday, the 16^th of September 2022, in the area of the village of Bogatići Miljevački, in the immediate vicinity of the borders of the Park above the Roški slap waterfall

The staff of the Krka National Park collected four trucks full of medium and large sized household waste from illegal dumps in the Dalmatian karst landscape. The discarded waste was located in the area of a pond that the local population uses for watering stock.

The Green Cleanup is a joint single-day action of cleaning up illegal dumps of trash and is the largest eco-project in Croatia, which gathers together actively involved citizens and organizations, and is a part of the major international action World Cleanup, started in 2008. It is based on raising awareness about the importance of responsible waste management, with the aim of preserving the environment, nature, and the planet Earth.

Let’s do it, Croatia! One day. One planet. One aim. A million people in one hundred  and fifty countries united in the largest civil action in the history of humanity so as to clean up our planet. On the 17^th of September 2022, volunteers and organizations throughout the world together collected trash from beaches, rivers, forests, and streets. The powerful “Green Wave” of cleaning began in New Zealand, and concluded thirty-six hours later on the Hawaii islands. A million people acted together in this project to achieve a singe goal: a cleaner and healthier planet.
