TONI NIKOLIĆ Palagruža IPA Palagruža is a small and remote archipelago in the southern Adriatic Sea. It is surrounded by deep sea and was not connected to the mainland during the periods of glaciation. This long isolation has resulted in the evolution of many new taxa and the island has a rich paleoendemic flora.The only inhabitats of the archipelgo are two lighthouse keepers. Neretva Delta IPA The Neretva Delta is the largest remaining wetland on the Croatia coast, containing unique plants and habitats threatened by land reclamation and drainage projects, such as the halophytic (salt loving) communities.The site is also an Important Bird Area and a Ramsar site. Recommendations for IPAs in Croatia For identification and monitoring ● Systematic taxa and habitat mapping activities on national level to fill the gaps in information, and to ensure more objective spatial evaluation of the state territory. This will benefit the creation of the Natura 2000 network and the national ecological network. ● Continue with the education of volunteers to support these activities. For IPA conservation ● Ensure the implementation of Natura 2000 and the associated necessary conservation measures work for IPAs. 44 CONSERVING IMPORTANT PLANT AREAS: INVESTING IN THE GREEN GOLD OF SOUTH EAST EUROPE TONI NIKOLIĆ TONI NIKOLIĆ
Macedonia – FormerYugoslav Republic By Ljupcho Melvoski,Vlado Matevski and Natalija Angelova Fig. 14. IPAs in Macedonia (FYR) Each circle represents one IPA – the diameters of the circles are proportional to the size of the IPA Summary Macedonia (FYR) has 42 Important Plant Areas, covering almost 18% of the country’s territory. Only 13 of these are protected at national level. Conservation measures within IPAs in national parks include measures for forests, but not for plant species.Although Macedonia has ratified almost all conventions for biodiversity protection, the conservation status of plants and habitats is not favourable. Remarkably, for such a unique flora, only eight Macedonian plant species are present on the EC Habitats Directive, illustrating the need for amending this, should Macedonia join the EU. Forestry and stock based agriculture is the predominant land use on Macedonian IPAs. Poor forestry practices threaten 69% of sites, mostly at high threat intensity.Wetlands are also particularly threatened and a third of IPAs suffer from water mismanagement, notably from dams and hydropower units.The majority of IPAs are owned by the state but denationalisation is ongoing and private land owners will be important stakeholders in future conservation activities.
