Grey
wolves, brown bears and Eurasian lynx have all been captured on film by camera
traps in Romania. The camera traps were carefully positioned to monitor the
distribution of bears and wolves, but Fauna & Flora International's (FFI)
team in Romania was delighted by the diversity of species recorded in the area,
which also included European wildcat, wild boar and red deer.
The
presence of so many different animals highlights the importance of protecting
the Zarand Landscape Corridor in Transylvania, which allows large carnivores to
move between the Western and Southern Carpathian Mountains.
Sadly,
this vital corridor is threatened by large-scale infrastructure development,
intensified forestry practices and loss of traditional agriculture practices.
For this reason, FFI and partner Zarand Association have been working together
to improve connectivity between the two areas to protect the region's diverse
and distinctive landscape and its wildlife.
