Analysis of the institutional frame regarding the bear management in Romanian conditions

Abstract

In contrast to the situation at the European level, the policies of nature conservation in Romania often occupy, on a national scale, only the last places on the agenda of the Romanian legislative and executive bodies. In this context, local and regional initiatives may play an important role in the conservation of nature. The Transilvania University from Brasov, along with partners from Italy, Bulgaria, and Greece are implementing a LIFE+ project that works to improve the conditions for large carnivore conservation and transfer of best practices.
