Krka National Park and the Sibenske sape association held a World Animal Protection Day programme on 10 October 2026 near the park reception at Lozovac, in the Sibenik region of Croatia. The event combined activities for visitors with information about responsible pet ownership and animal adoption.
The programme was announced for 10 October from 10am to 2pm. It was open to visitors arriving with their pets, while children were included through educational activities prepared by park staff.
Animal programme brought workshops to Lozovac on 10 October
The Public Institute of Krka National Park and Sibenske sape organised the programme as the fourth year of their cooperation. The official programme notice identifies Lozovac and links the event to World Animal Protection Day.
Park employees prepared educational workshops for younger visitors. Sibenske sape added a quiz about animal protection, and the organisers planned a themed photo booth where visitors could record their meeting with their pets. The programme also offered information for people considering the adoption of abandoned dogs or cats.
Krka National Park connects animal care with its river heritage
Krka National Park was proclaimed in 1985 and lies along the Krka River in Sibenik-Knin County. The official park profile describes a landscape of waterfalls, tufa barriers, lakes, canyons, wetlands and cultural sites, including water mills and the island of Visovac.
The event's focus on animal welfare suited a park whose visitor offer combines nature protection with education. At Skradinski buk, the main visitor area, trails and bridges pass cascades, islands and restored water mills. The park's wider network includes archaeological sites, fortresses, caves and river viewpoints. These features connect the practical subject of responsible animal care with a protected landscape rather than treating the programme as a separate urban event.
The park's visitor information states that Skradinski buk can be reached from the Lozovac entrance or from Skradin. The same profile identifies the park's trails, boat connections and cultural heritage sites.
Four years of cooperation placed adoption beside education
The cooperation between the park and Sibenske sape supports abandoned animals seeking permanent homes and promotes awareness of the responsibilities involved in keeping a pet. The programme on 10 October 2026 therefore extended beyond a single activity for children by joining public education with information about adoption.
Earlier editions focused on dogs, while the initiative expanded to include cats in 2024. The event also continued a pattern of activities for children and young people, giving the park's environmental education programme a direct connection with animal welfare.
