For its ornithological values and especially for the presence of Nycticorax and Porzana porzana, Zasavica is on the list of Important Bird Areas (IBA).On the ten chosen localities some platforms have been there since 1998 in order to provide better nesting conditions. On about 20 artificially built platforms about 10 pairs, each with two young, have successfully nested so far.
