The reason for the declaration and also the inclusion in protected areas of European importance is the occurrence of rare grasses and herbs, which occur in the warmest and driest parts of Slovakia, along with other very rare plant species. Important rare animals in the wetland include cave crustaceans, spiders, insects, salamander and also bats.

Region: Liptovský Mikuláš
Area: 1 448 ha
The caves of the Demänovská Valley were included in the Ramsar List on the basis of meeting three of the nine criteria used to identify internationally important wetlands. They represent a representative type of underground karst and cave hydrological systems. They are characterized by the presence of many vulnerable and endangered species of cave fauna and represent a site important for the preservation of the biological diversity of cave invertebrates in the Western Carpathians at the same time. 66 species of invertebrates and 11 species of vertebrates were determined in the system.

Danube Floodplains
Region: Bratislava II/V, Dunajská Streda, Komárno, Senec
Area: 14 448
The protected landscape area is located in the Danubian Lowland in the geomorphological unit of the Danube Plain, next to the section of the Danube from Bratislava to Veľkolélsky Island. It consists of five separate parts. This unique area is entirely located in the Arecent Aggregation Hall of the Danube. The system of aggregation ramparts and accumulation depressions with a dense network of river branches with a predominance of sedimentation accumulation, originated even before the interventions in the natural hydrological regime of the Danube. The branch system thus created has been partially preserved in the section from Dobrohrošt to Sap, but it is still one of the largest inland river deltas in Europe.
