Forestry, biodiversity and protected areas

The management of forestry, biodiversity and PAs in Romania has changed considerably since the first EPR, due to the country’s accession to the EU in 2007. The need to comply with the EU nature directives, i.e. the Habitats Directive and the Birds Directive, and affiliation with the Natura 2000 network, has provided Romania with the framework and legislative requirements necessary to address shortcomings in previous legislation regarding the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, as well as the designation and management of PAs.
