One of the rivers without which there would be no life in central Montenegro, River Zeta has been declared a Nature Park in 2019, by the decision of the Government of Montenegro, at the initiative of the Municipality of Danilovgrad. Thus, Zeta became an area of special importance for Montenegro, having in mind the significance of its biodiversity.
The valley of the River Zeta and the river itself is an important ecosystem for Montenegro. Of the 352 registered bird species in Montenegro, 20% of the total number are bird species present in this area. As many as 774 species of plants have been registered in the Zeta River Valley, which is again slightly more than 20% of plant species in Montenegro.
