On 17 September 2009 the two countries have committed to establish a Trans-Boundary UNESCO Biosphere Reserve that will protect their shared biodiversity hotspot along the Mura, Drava and Danube Rivers. This paves the way to create Europe's largest river protection area. WWF has highlighted the leading role of the Governments of Croatia and Hungary with a “Leaders for a Living Planet” award.
