Doi biologi din Germania și Austria despre când va avea România cel mai mare parc național din Europa, de 250.000 de hectare
Twenty years ago, two foreign biologists fell in love with the Făgăraș Mountains and initiated the idea of creating a national park in Romania. The proposed park would cover 250,000 hectares, incorporating various protected areas. The Conservation Carpathia Foundation has made progress by purchasing land and conducting studies to demonstrate the area's value. However, gaining local community support is crucial, as current legislation requires local authority approval. The foundation aims to show the economic benefits of the park to convince local leaders. Despite the challenges, there is growing interest among some local councils. The last national park in Romania was established 20 years ago, highlighting the need for updated legislation and community engagement.
