Abstract: Abstract Currently, the human impact exerted on the taxonomic diversity of vegetation and wildlife is very high. Human activities erode biological resources and reduce biodiversity. Biodiversity loss is the effect of agricultural and forestry intensive activities, industrialization, advanced fragmentation of natural habitats by infrastructure and urbanization, water, air pollution and tourism development. After accession to the European Union (EU), one of Romania’s priorities was to increase protection of its natural areas. In these circumstances, the Romanian Academy initiated a project entitled “Natural resources—strategic reserves, what we use and what we let to the future generations,” which aimed to realize the primary aspects regarding conservation of biodiversity and protection of natural areas in Romania. This chapter aims to present the main findings of this research project.
