ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION AND HABITAT PROTECTION IN SLOVENIA

One of the most heavily forested nations in Europe is Slovenia. The majority of Slovenia’s woods are found in beech forests, which together with beech-oak and fir-beech forests make up roughly 70% of the country’s total forestland. Slovenia’s forests, which make up 58% of the nation, are a crucial component of the landscape. Slovenia is the third-most wooded nation in the European Union, immediately behind Finland and Sweden. One 177 244 hectares, or around 75 percent of Slovenia’s land, is covered in forests. Less than 1% of the area is covered by the sea.

At least nine indigenous domestic animal breeds have been identified as being in danger of extinction. Slovenia only allows in situ conservation in a few limited locations; the majority of biodiversity protection objectives are met by sustainable land use, such low-intensity farming. The main land use practice that has a considerable economic impact on biodiversity, other from agriculture, is forestry.

EFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN SLOVENIA

Slovenia is a country in Central Europe that borders the Alps to the east. Slovenia is bordered to the north by Austria, to the east and south by Croatia, to the west by Italy, and to the southwest by the Adriatic Sea. Slovenia is extremely vulnerable to climate change because of its orographic and climatic characteristics. Slovenia has not yet implemented any climate change adaptation strategies.

Slovenia’s biotic variety is threatened by climate change because the various, smaller, geographically isolated ecosystems that are home to endemic species won’t be able to shift in order to adapt to changed climate zones.

38 percent of the country is made up of agricultural lands. Slovenia’s agriculture industry is anticipated to suffer as a result of the increased frequency and severity of dry spells brought on by climate change. The probability of major weather occurrences could make this worse. Tourism related to winter sports is very significant for Slovenia’s economy. Climate changes could have a negative impact on this industry.
