Pits and cliffs: an archive of the past and the water supply of the future

The article discusses Slovenia's initiative to establish International Day of Caves and Karst, which will be celebrated for the first time on September 13th. It highlights the importance of karst regions, which cover nearly five percent of the Earth's land surface and contain unique underground ecosystems, fossil records, and traces of human history. These areas provide fresh water for over a billion people but remain poorly understood and inadequately protected. Slovenia has worked towards this recognition, and UNESCO has supported the proposal. The event will include an official ceremony at Postojna Cave.
