Description

Description (EN):

In the Istrian County there are about 2000 caves, while it is assumed that in Slovenia there are about 9 000. This represents a significant number considering that in the world are registered around 155 000 of such objects. Unfortunately, many caves are used, despite the prohibition, as waste deposits. In order to prevent such practices, an active protection is required and a defined and controlled use that respects all the protection measures.
