Kruzi Plateau proposal seeks protected landscape status near Livno
A professional study has been presented in Livno proposing the designation of the 69.2 square kilometer Kruzi Plateau as a protected landscape. The plan aims to preserve natural habitats, drinking water sources, and traditional livestock farming while promoting sustainable tourism and restricting large-scale industrial investments, such as wind turbines and massive tourist complexes.
The proposal utilizes the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Category V classification, which allows for the coexistence of nature conservation and traditional land use. Professor Mirjana Miličević, who led the study, noted that this category was chosen to maintain the connection between the environment and the local population engaged in beekeeping and animal husbandry.
The plan divides the area into three management zones:
• A strict protection zone covering 10% to 15% of the area, including springs, cave systems, and bird nesting sites, where only research and necessary conservation work would be permitted. • A directed protection zone covering 65% to 75% of the area, where livestock grazing, haymaking, beekeeping, and hiking on marked trails would continue. • A third zone for managed tourism and other activities.
The current proposal only includes the portion of the plateau belonging to the City of Livno, excluding neighboring municipalities Glamoč and Tomislavgrad. The final decision rests with the Livno City Council.
