The Birds of Romania
It is not easy to find a birding place like Romania in Europe. The official bird list of Romania holds an impressive number of bird species. Until now 395 species of birds have ben sighted on Romanian territory.
The Wildlife of Romania
Romania may lack some of the developments – social, agricultural, industrial etc – that have swept across northern and western Europe but the slow pace of change has been a positive benefit for wildlife. Species that have declined or even become extinct elsewhere still prosper in Romania. From the humble tree sparrow – on the verge of extinction in Britain for example – to the white pelican – Romania boasts the largest breeding population outside of Africa – to the largest population of Brown Bear in Europe – there are countless examples. Along with this of course is the preservation – albeit unintentional in many cases – of large tracts of pristine or virtually unspoiled habitats.
We present you some of the highlights the Romanian Wildlife has to offer. Please select the section you are intrested in and read on.
You can download some wildlife check lists for your trip to Romania from each page or by going directly to the CHECKLIST section you can find in the main meniu. The bird lists are available in English, German, French, Dutch, Swedish Italian and Romanian. The rest of the lists are available just in English and Latin.
