  • WWF Position “Bystroye Canal” / Danube-Black Sea Deep
    WWF Position May 2009 “Bystroye Canal” / Danube-Black Sea Deep Navigation Channel Since 2004, the Ukrainian government has been constructing a canal in the Danube Delta referred to in the official documentation as the Danube-Black Sea Deep Navigation Channel, or “Bystroye canal” as it widely known as an alternative to the Sulina Channel on Romanian territory. The project has been carried out with a number of breaches of international commitments. Local and international stakeholders and environmental organisations have been highly concerned about its likely negative environmental impacts on the unique species and habitats of the Delta, which is protected under the UNESCO Man and Biosphere Programme ( for chronology of events please, see www.panda.org/dcpo). The decision to construct the canal has been based neither on solid socio- economic and environmental analysis nor on proper assessment of alternatives WWF therefore calls for a halt to all further works on a deep sea canal along the Bystroye arm. WWF recommends joint operation of the existing Sulina Channel by Romania and Ukraine as the most economically and environmentally viable option. Should the Ukrainian government not give up its plan to construct a navigation channel on national territory, WWF proposes the careful consideration of alternatives outside the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve. Project poses severe threat to Danube Delta biodiversity Further works on a deep sea canal along the Bystroye branch presents a severe threat to the Danube Delta’s biodiversity as the canal cuts through the heart of the Ukrainian Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve – an environmentally sensitive area protected by several international agreements.

  • Framing Croatia's Politics of Memory and Identity
    Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER WORKSHOP: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER Author: Taylor A. McConnell, School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh Title: “KRVatska”, “Branitelji”, “Žrtve”: (Re-)framing Croatia’s politics of memory and identity Date: 3 April 2018 Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER “KRVatska”, “Branitelji”, “Žrtve”: (Re-)framing Croatia’s politics of memory and identity Taylor McConnell, School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh Web: taylormcconnell.com | Twitter: @TMcConnell_SSPS | E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper explores the development of Croatian memory politics and the construction of a new Croatian identity in the aftermath of the 1990s war for independence. Using the public “face” of memory – monuments, museums and commemorations – I contend that Croatia’s narrative of self and self- sacrifice (hence “KRVatska” – a portmanteau of “blood/krv” and “Croatia/Hrvatska”) is divided between praising “defenders”/“branitelji”, selectively remembering its victims/“žrtve”, and silencing the Serb minority. While this divide is partially dependent on geography and the various ways the Croatian War for Independence came to an end in Dalmatia and Slavonia, the “defender” narrative remains preeminent. As well, I discuss the division of Croatian civil society, particularly between veterans’ associations and regional minority bodies, which continues to disrupt amicable relations among the Yugoslav successor states and places Croatia in a generally undesired but unshakable space between “Europe” and the Balkans. 1 Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER Table of Contents Abstract ...................................................................................................................................................................

Economic relationships lead to the determination of behavior towards resources, including those related to biodiversity. Human interventions are not negative only by making maximum use of biological resources, but also through activities that do not directly target these categories. The main ways humans contribute to the degradation of biodiversity are: modification and destruction of habitats, voluntary and involuntary transfer of species, overexploitation in all areas, starting with resources. The purpose of this research is to highlight the importance of protected areas in the world, as well as in Romania, highlighting economic activities that help to preserve and protect nature and the natural environment, activities that are included in management plans for sustainable development.

  • Sedimentary Microplastic Concentrations from the Romanian
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Sedimentary microplastic concentrations from the Romanian Danube River to the Black Sea Iulian Pojar1, Adrian Stănică1*, Friederike Stock2, Christian Kochleus2, Michael Schultz1 & Chris Bradley3 A multitude of recent studies have detailed microplastic concentrations in aquatic and terrestrial environments, although questions remain over their ultimate fate. At present, few studies have detailed microplastic characteristics and abundance along a freshwater–marine interface, and considerable uncertainties remain over the modelled contribution of terrestrial and riverine microplastic to the world’s oceans. In this article, for the frst time, we detail sedimentary microplastic concentrations along a River–Sea transect from the lower reaches of a major continental river, the River Danube, through the Danube Delta, the Black Sea coast to the Romanian and Bulgarian inner shelf of the Black Sea. Our results indicate that isolated areas of the Danube Delta are still relatively pristine, with few microplastic particles in some of the sediments sampled.
