Geschichte

From the Danube basin to the Carpathian Mountains, our region - the Green Heart of Europe - is home to:

- Europe’s most spectacular remaining wilderness areas outside of Russia, including the southern Carpathians and the Danube Delta;

- The largest remaining area of virgin and natural forests in Europe outside of northern Scandinavia and Russia;

- Most of Europe’s last remaining intact rivers and wetlands, including the globally important Lower Danube Green Corridor and the Mura-Drava-Danube corridor, “Europe’s Amazon”;

- Two-thirds of the European populations of large carnivores, including bears, lynx and wolves;

- The Danube sturgeons that survived the end of the dinosaurs but now teeter on the edge of extinction.
