Abstract

Park prirode je znanstvena i kulturno-odgojna institucija, osnovana radi održavanja prirodnog stanja, očuvanja prirodnih karakteristika i upoznavanja širokih slojeva pučanstva sa zakonitostima prirode. Zbog različitosti i raznovrsnosti flore i faune Parka, potrebna je odgovarajuća zaštita, čija osnova treba biti u prvom redu na znanstvenim spoznajama. Osobitosti Papuka predstavljaju važan segment biološke i krajobrazne vrijednosti područja Slavonije. Izuzetne reljefne karakteristike odaju burnu geološku prošlost nastanka ovog područja. Raznolikost geoloških pojava, očuvana flora i vegetacija te staništa većeg broja životinjskih vrsta, predstavljaju bogatstvo koje treba znanstveno istražiti, unaprijediti i sačuvati od štetnog utjecaja ljudi za one koji tek trebaju ovdje živjeti. U rujnu 2007. godine na sedmoj sjednici Europske Mreže Geoparkova, Papuk je postao prvi hrvatski geopark i 30. član europske mreže te član UNESCO-ve svjetske mreže geoparkova. Geopark je područje s izraženom geološkom baštinom te strategijom za održivi gospodarski razvoj i promociju te baštine na dobrobit lokalne zajednice. Geopark Papuk je dio europske i svjetske UNESCO-ve mreže geoparkova čiji su glavni ciljevi zaštita, edukacija i održivi razvoj. Novi status geoparka trebao bi podići svijest o važnosti geološke zaštite i pridonijeti promociji lokalnih i regionalnih proizvoda, obrta, događaja, festivala, lokalne tradicije te ugostiteljstva.

Abstract (english)

The Nature Park is first of all a scientific, cultural and educational institution; set up to preserve natural conditions and characteristics, and to introduce wide population with the laws of nature. Because of diversity and heterogeneousness of flora and fauna of this area, the adequate protection is required, whose basis must be first of all based on scientific cognitions. The peculiarities of Papuk represent the important part of biological and landscape values in the area of Slavonia. Outstanding relief characteristics spoke of stormy geological history of origination of this area. Variety of geological phenomenon, preserved flora and vegetation, and habitats of the larger number of animal species, represents the treasure that needs to be explored, improved and preserved from the harmful influence of people for new generations of people who will live here. At the seventh European Geopark Network Open Conference, hosted by North West Highlands Geopark in September 2007, the Papuk Geopark became the first Croatian Geopark and 30th member of the European and UNESCO Global Geopark Network. A Geopark is an area with an expressed geological heritage and a strategy for a sustainable economical development, and the promotion of that very development to the benefit of the local community. The Papuk Geopark is a part of the European and Global UNESCO Geoparks Network, whose main goals are protection, education and a sustainable development. Geopark designation will raise awareness of importance of geological conservation and will contribute to promotion of local and regional products along with local crafts, events, festivals, local traditions and accommodation.
