Cel mai mare parc național din Europa ar putea include și județul Sibiu: proiect de 250.000 de hectare în Munții Făgăraș

Romania could host the largest national park in Europe, covering 250,000 hectares, if local support is secured. Biologists Barbara and Christoph Promberger initiated the project, aiming to include various protected areas. They have already purchased 28,000 hectares to prevent deforestation. The project requires local authority approval, which has been slow due to bureaucratic challenges. The foundation is working to change local perceptions by demonstrating the economic benefits of conservation over resource exploitation. A recent study indicates that a national park could significantly boost local economies. Romania has not established a new national park in 20 years, complicating the process further due to legislative changes requiring local consent.
