“PAŠNJACI VELIKE DROPLJE” SPECIAL NATURE RESERVE – Mokrin

Pašnjaci velike droplje is a Special Nature Reserve comprising a mosaic of steppe, saline, meadow, wetland and arable ecosystems, home to numerous rare plant and animal species. Among them, the Great Bustard stands out for its distinctive features and striking appearance. This area is the only habitat of the Great Bustard in Serbia and one of the few remaining habitats of this species in Europe and worldwide. Owing to its distinctive and striking appearance, the Great Bustard was once a frequent target for hunters, which contributed significantly to the decline in its population. Today, fewer than 40 individuals of this species remain in the area. Interestingly, residents of the surrounding villages of Mokrin, Sajan and Jazovo have rarely, if ever, had the opportunity to see this bird, as the Great Bustard is extremely shy and wary and avoids human presence. Visitors wishing to set out in search of this remarkable bird and capture it through the lens of a camera can contact the Perjanica Hunting Association.
