It is one of the most important, largest and most attractive preserved intact wetlands in Europe. A part of Kopački Rit has been designated as a zoological reserve. Around 260 various bird species nest here. There are 40-odd fish species, it also has over 140 recorded species of plant—some of which are very rare and only found in a few places in Croatia.
