Abstract
Hrvatska na maloj površini ima osam nacionalnih parkova, što predstavlja veliko prirodno bogatstvo. Njihova raznolikost – planine, more, otoci, sedrena slapišta i jezera, uvelike utječe na njihovu prepoznatljivost u Hrvatskoj, a posebno i u svijetu. Osim što svaki nacionalni park odlikuju temeljni fenomeni, svakom je zajednička zaštita radi očuvanja prirodnih ekosustava. Ti ekosustavi nerijetko sadržavaju rijetke i endemične vrste. O tim je vrstama, kao i o njihovom očuvanju, posjetitelje važno informirati raznim edukacijskim materijalima. S ciljem poboljšanja prezentacije prirodnih i florističko-faunističkih vrijednosti nacionalnih parkova Hrvatske, u ovom radu razrađeni su prijedlozi njihove promocije.Croatia has a substantial natural resources of eight national parks on its small area. Their great heterogeneity - mountains and islands, lakes, waterfalls and the sea – makes them well known both in Croatia and worldwide. Besides each having its specific natural phenomena, all national parks have a common goal of protecting and preserving their rich ecosystems and biodiversity. Many species living in these ecosystems are rare and even endemic. It is vital to inform the visitors of their importance and the efforts to conserve them, by means of various educational materials. This paper discusses suggestions for promotion of Croatian national parks, with the aim of improving the presentation of their natural, floristic and faunistic riches
