On Saturday, March 28, 2026, from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM, the 20th anniversary edition of the global initiative Earth Hour will be celebrated under the slogan “The Biggest Hour for Earth”!
The message of this largest volunteer action, when the lights in the main squares of cities and recognizable landmarks are turned off for one hour, is that planetary ecosystems are at the brink of endurance and that it is necessary to change our relationship with nature. The latest WWF Living Planet Report (2024) describes that the largest decline in the global index was observed for freshwater (-85%), terrestrial (-69%), and marine ecosystems (-56%).
Precisely because of these changes that we are witnessing, it is extremely important to take time at least every day in your life to have some kind of positive impact on our planet:
- participate in a volunteer clean-up campaign,
- spend a day in nature,
- use public transportation, bike or walk
- reduce food waste
- increase interest in nature conservation by watching documentaries, books and similar
- express your love for the planet through art and thus raise awareness about environmental and nature protection
We suggest you visit the Plitvice Lakes National Park and enjoy the natural values of our largest national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site!
