Abstract

Bara Reva is located in the closee vicinity of the capital and largest city in Serbia, on the left bank of the Danube River. The area represents a mosaic of natural habitats and is part of a riparian forest area that plays a significant role in protection against floods and strong winds. Bara Reva is the complex of habitats of important and protected plant and animal species, among others the white-tailed eagle and otter. Due to its natural values, the wider territory around this territory is protected as an Internationally Important Area for Birds named "The confluence of the Sava into the Danube" and belongs to an ecologically significant area of the Ecological Network of Serbia. In addition to the existing legal system with clear obligations to protect nature and improve its values, the researched area is exposed to negative anthropogenic pressure. This great swamp, with 80 ha of forest, is threatened by inadequate activities, logging and planning the construction of a waste disposal facility. In the paper, all laws and by laws related to the regulation of activities in this riparian area were analyzed, inadequacies were pointed out and possibilities for improving the protection of Bara Reva were given.
