THE MANAGEMENT OF THE NATURAL PROTECTED AREAS AT A NATIONAL LEVEL

The habitats from Romania are characterized by a certain composition of flora and fauna, components of biogenesis and there are influenced by different climacteric and natural factors. The climacteric influences of the arid areas from the Easter part to the oceanic ones from the Western part of the country and also the climacteric influences between plain and mountain imposed by the altitude of the relief have determined the appearance of a high number of habitats. Another factor which determines the great variety of habitats in Romania is represented by the chemical compositions of the rocks above (ground, underground). From an administrative point of view most of the natural areas protected belong to the National Forest Authority-ROMSILVA, fact that has negative implications on the biodiversity of these areas. It can be remarked that there is a proper legislative background that covers the complex issues of the protected areas. Also, there are many provisions according to the European requests or which are the result of a series of agreements, treaties and international conventions that Romania joined.
