FOTO | De ce merită Valea Saulei să fie următoarea arie naturală protejată din București. Imagini-argument din paradisul cu lacuri, stufăriș și ascunsa pădure de luncă • Viața în București

Valea Saulei, a significant wetland area near Bucharest, is on the verge of becoming a protected site. It features lakes, reed beds, and diverse wildlife, including protected species like otters and kingfishers. The area has undergone ecological recovery after being abandoned post-1970s water system changes. Despite urban development, local volunteers recently participated in a cleanup effort, collecting various construction waste. The community aims to prevent illegal dumping and is advocating for the area’s protection against further construction and pollution. The Bucharest Natural Park Association is working to secure the area’s protected status.
