Abstract: Wildlife - watching tourism from Romania starts to become more popular among foreign tourists, who want to see the large carnivores from Carpathians or the rare birds of the Danube Delta. The high biodiversity and the untouched habitats from these "sensitive" areas, makes the impact of the tourism to be more stronger, so it is required a sustainable management of this type of ecoturism. In order to have a healthy management of this tourism type, it is necessary to understand the behavior of species, habitat requirements of species and area limits where tourists can interract with certain species, so that neither species and nor tourists does not suffer.
