Collision Risk Analysis for Wind Farms: A Practical Pre-Construction Guide from Field Data to Final Risk
Wind energy has become one of the cornerstones of modern energy systems. It is renewable, scalable, and plays a critical role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. For many regions, wind farms are no longer an exception but a standard...
Tagging Hope: A Decade of Protecting Croatia’s Last Telestes souffia in the Bregana River
In 2025, our team completed the latest chapter of a decade-long effort to protect Telestes souffia, tagging 30 adult individuals in the Bregana River using BIOMARK PIT technology. Each fish was gently anesthetised, measured, weighed, and fitted with an 8 mm microchip to enable long-term tracking of survival and movement in its last Croatian habitat. The work builds on earlier studies, including the 2017 research that documented a small and declining population, underscoring the urgency of continued monitoring. With new data now collected, updated 2025 population estimates are on the way — and hope for the species continues to flow with the Bregana.

Natrix helvetica: Nova vrsta faune Hrvatske
Fauna Hrvatske nedavno je obogaćena novom vrstom zmije – Natrix helvetica, imenovanom kao zapadna bjelouška (jer je odvojena od obične bjelouške). Ova vrsta do nedavno se smatrala dijelom vrste Natrix natrix, obične bjelouške, sve dok genetska istraživanja nisu...
Nova numizmatička kovanica “Crna gušterica” – Očuvanje prirodne baštine na Brusniku
S ponosom najavljujemo kako je upravo izdana nova numizmatička kovanica s motivom brusničke krške gušterice (Podarcis melisellensis melisellensis), endemske podvrste gušterica koja obitava na otočiću Brusniku, zaštićenom kao geološki spomenik prirode još od 1951....
