The vegetation includes three major areas:
• steppe and forested steppe – specific to the
plains, but intensely transformed by practicing
agriculture
• the forest fund of decidous and coniferous
trees, with precious species of zâmbru (Pinus
cembra)and yew tree (Taxus bacata)
• the alpine vegetation, with rare floristic
species: rose bay, the edelweiss ("the queen’s
flower"), the gentian, the sweet pea and a
unique world: Garofiţa Pietrii Craiului (Piatra
Craiului pink).
In Banat and the Northern part of Oltenia,
Mediterranean species appear: the almond tree,
the lilac and the wild fig tree, the black and
maritime pine.
At the moment, the forests cover a little over
26% of Romania’s surface. In what concerns the
trees, the beech prevails, followed by the oak,
the conifers and other species.

Over 400,000 ha of the country’s territory are
affected by the draught, as a result of the
pollution.
The fauna comprises of rare species: the
bustard, the lynx, the mountain cock, the black
grouse, the pelican, the white-tailed eagle, the
sturgeons (fishes with black spawn), but also
large stocks of chamois, bear, wolf. Extincted
species have been introduced into the specific
habitat, such as the alpine marmot (the Retezat
and Rodna Mountains), the bison (Haţeg and in
the counties of Dâmboviţa and Neamţ), the
moufflon (Dobrogea), the raccoon dog
(Nyctereutes procyonoides) Romania is
considered the richest European country in what
the hunting stock is concerned.
The existence of some unique natural
landscapes, the presence of many rare species of
vegetation and fauna required certain protection
measures of the environment. During the inter-
war period the first natural park is created – The
Retezat National Park (1935) – and the first
natural reserves are constituted.

7. In September 1990, the Romanian Government declared
the Danube Delta and some nearby areas (580 000ha) as
a Biosphere Reserve (RBDD).
In the same year the Danube Delta was recognized as a
wetland of international importance, especially as a
waterfowl habitat, and it was included in the RAMSAR
Convention together with other 600 similar areas.
In December 1990, the Danube Delta was included on the
UNESCO list of World Cultural and Natural Heritage
THE DANUBE DELTA –
NATURAL RESERVE OF THE BIOSPHERE
•The only delta in the world which was declared reserve of the biosphere.
•It has the most compact reed plot in the world.
•It annually grows with 40 square meters.
•There are 135 species of fish and 331 species of birds in the Danube Delta, most of them
protected. The Danube Delta is also called “ the birds’ paradise”.
•There are many excellent bird watching areas in Romania, the most stunning of which is
the Danube Delta - 5000 square kilometers of waterways, lakes, floating reed islets,
sand dunes and virgin forest.
