FIVE-COUNTRY BIOSPHERE RESERVE MURA-DRAVA-DANUBE




THE UNESCO FIVE-COUNTRY BIOSPHERE RESERVE MURA-DRAVA-DANUBE

Known as the ‘Amazon of Europe’, the UNESCO Five-country Biosphere Reserve
Mura-Drava-Danube (TBR MDD) is an extraordinary natural wonder stretching across
Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary and Serbia.

Covering 930,000 hectares along 700 kilometres of meandering rivers, this
UNESCO-designated area is a biodiversity hotspot with rare habitats such as
floodplain forests, gravel and sand banks, river islands and oxbow lakes. It
provides critical habitat for many endangered species, including the
white-tailed eagle, the black stork, the little tern and a high diversity of
typical fish species such as the sterlet. In addition to its ecological
importance, the area has a rich cultural heritage, shaped by influences ranging
from the Ottomans to the Habsburgs, which can be seen in the architecture of
many of the region’s old towns.
These rivers are vital to local communities, supporting traditional livelihoods
through recreation, fishing and small-scale agriculture, as well as providing
opportunities for ecotourism. This combination of ecological and cultural
importance makes the reserve unique in Europe.

Discover the rich history, current challenges and conservation and restoration
efforts that are shaping the future of the Amazon of Europe.
