As a former marshland, this area of Inner Somogy is not so suitable for agricultural production. It is, however, perfect for forestry and raising game. The marshland surrounded by woods is the habitat of several rare, protected plant and animal species. There are a number of rare species among its rich flora and fauna; it is the habitat of botanical rarities that are well-known across Europe. The ecological condition of the area and the natural and environmental protection value of the various associations have grown continuously in the past years.
