OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE THE MANAGEMENT OF THE LUNCA MURESULUI NATURAL PARK

Abstract

Protected areas and even natural parks were created in order to protect the biodiversity and to reduce at minimum the impact of human activities on flora and fauna ecosystems. For these reasons it is necessary to preserve ecological balances and sustainability, the existence of a network of protected areas as vast as it can and developing of an efficient management of the areas found under protection in order to reduce the negative impact on flora and fauna biodiversity. Fragmentation of landscapes, with vocations of protected areas through human activities, air, soil and water pollution, expansion of invasive species of animals and plants, of agricultural lands, have become major issues with witch are facing the administrations of protected area, which are required to develop and to implement management plans specific to each area, in relation with human activities carried out in areas or in their vicinity, through intensification of agricultural activities in particular but also industrial ones.
