About the exhibition: Biological diversity is a source of food and medicines, and ecosystems have an irreplaceable role in the supply of air and clean water, regeneration of the soil and the regulation of the climate. Thanks to its position at the border of several biogeographical regions, Croatia is in terms of biodiversity one of the richest countries in Europe. The great diversity of terrestrial, marine and subterranean habitats has resulted in great species richness with a considerable number of endemics. The exhibition consists of 47 photographic prints by diverse photographers.

About the exhibition: Dubrovačko-neretvanska County lies in the Dinaric area, a highly weathered Dinaric karst platform and the only part of the biogeographical region of the Southern Dinarides in Croatia, stretching from the Neretva River to Albania. Accordingly there is no surprise in there being in the county numerous speleological structures of exceptional dimensions and importance. Gromačka Cave (2001 m) by Gromača and Močiljska Cave (938 m) by Osojnik are geomorphological monuments of nature. Speleological structures stand out for their diverse and rare cavernicolous habitats and the very rich cavernicolous fauna. Thanks to extensive investigations of 33 type sites in the area of the county, 14 genera have been described, with 55 species and 13 subspecies of cavernicolous fauna. The exhibition has uncovered something of the hidden cave heritage of Dubrovačko-neretvanska County.
