Romania is one of Europe’s most important places for wildlife. From the Carpathian Mountains to the Danube Delta, it is home to large carnivores like bears, wolves and lynx, as well as iconic species such as the European bison and endangered sturgeons.

This natural wealth makes Romania a key stronghold for biodiversity in Europe. But this richness is under growing pressure. 

Habitat loss, infrastructure, unsustainable use of resources, and increasing conflicts between people and wildlife are putting ecosystems at risk.
