Biodiversity protection in Romania: Financial resources

This paper attempts to make an evaluation of the programs implemented or under implementation for the protection of biodiversity. Beyond the national interest, Romania must respect international agreements (Convention of Biological Diversity, Birds Directive, Habitats Directive, EU Biodiversity Strategy, EU Forest Strategy, CITIES) on the conservation and sustained exploitation of biodiversity and ensure a fair distribution of biodiversity costs and benefits. Both EU and international policies have as their main objectives to stop biodiversity loss by 2020, to strengthen the NATURA 2000 network and to compensate for the loss of biodiversity according to the NNL (No Net Loss) principle, in other words. : "Stopping global degradation of the environment". By evaluating public data sources, national concerns, results obtained, sources of funding for this field are highlighted. Also, the support measures for the environment and climate, respectively for biodiversity conservation, provided in the NRDP during the two programming periods, are analysed on comparative basis, in order to mark the objectives, the categories of measures and the financial allocations for each type of area in which they were applied.
