Tolisa River Floodplain Restoration and Biodiversity Conservation Initiative
The Tolisa River in the Municipality of Modriča (Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina) once supported diverse riparian and floodplain habitats, with the old riverbed acting as a key ecological corridor for fish, amphibians, birds, and aquatic plants. Today, however, this system is under marked stress. The old Tolisa channel is fragmented and ecologically degraded, biodiversity has declined, and hydrological conditions have become increasingly variable undermining habitat continuity and the river’s natural capacity to buffer floods and droughts.
