  • Romania: Danube Delta Integrated Sustainable Development Strategy
    Romania: Danube Delta Integrated Sustainable Development Strategy About the Danube Delta Region The Danube Delta is one of the continent’s most valuable habitats for specific delta wildlife and biodiversity. Established as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and a Ramsar site in 1990, it is the Europe’s second largest delta, and the best preserved of European deltas. The most significant physical and ecological feature of the Danube Delta is its vast expanse of wetlands, including freshwater marsh, lakes and ponds, streams and channels. With an area of 3,446 km2, is the world’s largest wetland. Only 9% of the area is permanently above water. The Delta hosts extraordinary biodiversity and provides important environmental services. It is the home of over 1,200 varieties of plants, 300 species of birds, as well as 45 freshwater fish species in its numerous lakes and marshes. There are 16 strictly protected areas in the delta where no economic activities are allowed, and areas for ecological rehabilitation and buffer zones between economical areas where tourist activities are permitted as long as the environment is protected. Dual Challenge in Developing the Danube Delta A dual challenge for the sustainable development of the Danube Delta is the conservation of its ecological assets and improvement of the quality of life for its residents. The Danube Delta is the largest remaining natural delta in Europe and one of the largest in the world. It is also the only river that is entirely contained within a Biosphere Reserve. It is important to conserve all of its ecological assets. 1 Danube Delta is perhaps one of the least inhabited regions of temperate Europe, with only about 10,000 people in one town (Sulina) and about 20 scattered villages.

  • Endemic Macrolepidoptera Subspecies in the Natural History Museum Collections from Sibiu (Romania)
    Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle © 31 août «Grigore Antipa» Vol. LVI (1) pp. 65–80 2013 DOI: 10.2478/travmu-2013-0005 ENDEMIC MACROLEPIDOPTERA SUBSPECIES IN THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM COLLECTIONS FROM SIBIU (ROMANIA) SERGIU-CORNEL TÖRÖK, GABRIELA CUZEPAN Abstract. The paper presents data regarding endemic Macrolepidoptera subspecies preserved in the Entomological Collections of Natural History Museum from Sibiu. 22 endemic subspecies are recorded and represented by 382 specimens in the Entomological Collection. Most of the specimens have been collected from mountain habitats, especially from Southern and Western Carpathians. The results of this paper contribute to the improvement of the existing data concerning the distribution and outline the areas of Macrolepidoptera’s endemism in Romania. Résumé. Le document présente des données concernant les sous-espèces endémiques des Macrolépidoptères conservées dans les collections entomologiques du Musée d’Histoire Naturelle de Sibiu. 22 sous-espèces endémiques sont enregistrées et représentées par 382 spécimens dans la collection entomologique. La plupart des spécimens ont été recueillis dans les habitats de montagne, en particulier du Sud et l’Ouest des Carpates. Les résultats de cette étude contribuent à compléter les données existantes concernant la distribution et de définir les zones d’endémisme des Macrolépidoptères en Roumanie. Key words: Macrolepidoptera, endemic taxa, geographic distribution, museum collections. INTRODUCTION In this paper, the authors wish to present the endemic taxa from the Natural History Museum from Sibiu. The term endemic is used for taxa that are unique to a geographic location. This geographic location can be either relatively large or very small (Gaston & Spicer, 1998; Kenyeres et al., 2009).

  • The Danube-Hydrographic Polarisation European Axis. State-Of-The-Art
    RISCURI ŞI CATASTROFE, NR. XVI, VOL. 20, NR. 1/2017 THE DANUBE-HYDROGRAPHIC POLARISATION EUROPEAN AXIS. STATE-OF-THE-ART P. GÂŞTESCU1 Abstract.- The Danube- hydrographic polarisation european axis.State-of- the-art The Danube has more „international” character than any other great river, strung along water course four national capitals (Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest,Belgrad), several other cities and hundreds of towns and villages, passes through human habitation of widely varying levels of development. The Danube is the second largest water course in Europe (after the Volga) in terms of length (2860 km), drainage basin (817,000 km2) and multiannual mean dischrge (6,510 m³/sec. entry into Danube Delta).Through the latitudinal development of the Danube River Basin, in the Western and Central European space with different climate conditions (ocean and continental temperate), the liquid discharge regime, with high waters during spring and early summer is reflecting a moderate variation (K=Qmax/Qmin-8.9 at Ceatal Chilia).The Danube is a navigable waterway of significant importance and since ancient times it has helped form links between the populations inhabiting its banks.Traces of settlment date backs thousands of years as people were attracted by fertile floodplains and terraces,the wildlife in wilow forest and the wealth of fish populating the river itself and many great lakes. Unfortunately, this was not always been a bridgeway.There had been times,and they spaned five hundred yeares,when the lower course divided peoples. The Romans turned the river into a political frontier,not easily surmounted because of the force resistance put up by the autochtonous populatoin, the Dacians, in particular.

  • Stratigraphy and Tectonics of the Uppermost Bucegi Conglomerate Formation (Albian, Eastern Carpathians, Romania)
    STRATIGRAPHY AND TECTONICS OF THE UPPERMOST BUCEGI CONGLOMERATE FORMATION (ALBIAN, EASTERN CARPATHIANS, ROMANIA) DAN CONSTATIN JIPA, CONSTANTIN UNGUREANU AND GABRIEL ION National Institute of Marine Geology and Geo-ecology, 23-25 Dimitrie Onciul Street, RO-024053 Bucharest, Romania, e-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. This paper presents a detailed lithostratigraphic investigation carried out in the Bucegi Massif, a mountainous zone from the southern part of the Eastern Carpathians. The study focused on the 50 - 70 m thick succession of four conglomerate units associated with olistoliths, intercalated in the upper part of the Babele Sandstone Member (the uppermost lithostratigraphic unit of the Albian Bucegi Conglomerate Formation). The conglomerate beds suc- cession stands for the uppermost strata of the thick Bucegi conglomeratic accumulation. All the four conglomerate bodies are stratiform and continuous for almost two kilometers, and show mainly constant lithofacies features on wide areas. The study emphasizes two large-scale trends of high implication on depositional interpretation. The reduced areal extension of the basal conglomerate unit, compared with the larger extension area of the overlying units 2, 3 and 4, is one of the features with genetic significance. Another remarkable characteristic is the lateral passage from the single thick conglomerate units 2, 3 and 4, to conglomerate units alternating with sandstones beds. Another remarkable characteristic is the northwards amalgamation of the conglomerate units 1, 2, 3 and 4 into a single body, named in this paper the Conglomerates with Olistoliths. Key words: Bucegi Massif, Albian, lithostratigraphy, conglomerate unit, olistoliths, fining upward trend. 1.

  • Environmental Sustainability and the Inclusion of Geomorphosites in Tourist Activity—Case Study: the Baiului Mountains, Romania
    sustainability Article Environmental Sustainability and the Inclusion of Geomorphosites in Tourist Activity—Case Study: The Baiului Mountains, Romania Ligia Barbălată (Alb) * and Laura Comănescu Department of Geomorphology-Pedology-Geomatics, Faculty of Geography, University of Bucharest, 010041 Bucharest, Romania; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +40-0721728412 Abstract: This paper presents the sustainability of the relief at geomorphosites in terms of tourist activity and how tourism can affect the relief by presenting the major sustainable tourism issues. For the study area, the Baiului Mountains from Romania were chosen. In addition, we present the method for assessing tourist and exploitation values of geomorphological sites in the tourist area of Romania. Jean-Pierre Pralong first used the method and it aims to qualify the potential in terms of scenic, scientific, cultural and economic values and the use of this potential in terms of degree and modality of exploitation. It was based on the study of 10 geomorphological sites in the area of the Baiului Mountains. We present each geomorphosite and its scale for every value. Finally, we develop an analysis of the potential and use of the studied geomorphosites and the relationship between the reliefs and tourism.
