Abstract

The main objectives of EU biodiversity policy – stopping biodiversity loss by the year 2020, strengthening the NATURA 2000 network (protected areas) and compensating for biodiversity loss, i.e. “stopping global environmental degradation” – have become objectives of national interest for Romania. Over time, certain areas have been designated as protected areas, in order to protect the most important values of biological (threatened species or human communities) and geological biodiversity, as well as exceptional cultural and spiritual values, thus becoming fundamental elements in the development of national and international biodiversity conservation and protection strategies. As any strategy must be based on the analysis of data available at a given moment, this paper aims to point out a few significant aspects of protected areas in Romania – temporal evolution of areas and their number, both at national level (without neglecting the European context), as well as at regional level, while ranking the development regions with the most protected areas and their size.
