The Ministry of Environment estimates the number of bears living in Romania at 5000 to 6000 (as of 2021), with the majority of them residing in the Transylvanian counties of Mures, Harghita and Covasna.

In contrast, Germany has about 1800 -2100 wolves nationwide (as of 2022), while the number in Romania is about 10,000 (as of 2019). Nevertheless, no one here will think of shooting wolves.

It is remarkable that despite the higher wolf population in Romania, there is a differentiated approach to these animals. Here, emphasis is placed on maintaining the natural balance and ecological equilibrium.

This approach is reflected in the different views on the protection and conservation of endangered species. While in Germany the focus is often on management measures, in Romania the emphasis is on the protection of native wildlife.

These different perspectives show how culture, tradition, and respect for nature can influence approaches to wildlife management.

In Romania, the wolf is considered part of the natural ecosystem and appropriate protection measures are in place. These include monitoring the wolf population, promoting preventative measures to protect livestock, and raising public awareness of the value and importance of these fascinating predators.

It is to be hoped that the respectful treatment of wild animals as practiced in Romania will be taken as a model in other countries as well. This would help promote the harmonious coexistence of humans and animals and preserve biodiversity.

Romania's pristine forests are home to some remarkable species of wildlife, including bison and lynx. These majestic animals are part of the country's rich wildlife and contribute to the natural diversity of the region.

The bison, also known as European bison, are the largest land mammals in Europe (bull up to 1.9 meters (6,2 feet) and up to 800 Kg (1,000 lbs)). They are characterized by their imposing stature and massive bodies. Bison have powerful horns and an impressive presence. Their fur is dark brown and looks particularly imposing in the dense forests where they are native.

Romania is one of the few countries in Europe where free-ranging herds of bison exist. Currently, there are protected areas where these impressive animals can live and reproduce. Romanian forests provide sufficient space and food for bison to thrive in their natural environment.

The Eurasian Lynx

Another fascinating animal found in the Romanian forests is the lynx (size about 75cm (2.5 feet) with a length of about 1 meter (3.3 feet) and 25 Kg. (55 lbs) weight). With its characteristic fur pattern consisting of dark spots and stripes, the lynx is an elegant predator. It is able to move silently through the thicket and hunt its prey with precision.

The lynxes in Romania have extensive territories, which they share with other animals. They are perfectly adapted to the demanding lifestyle in the forests. Lynx are skilled hunters and feed mainly on smaller mammals such as deer, hares and rodents.

In Romania, there are efforts to protect the habitats of these animals and to fight poaching. Nature reserves and national parks provide a protected space where populations can recover.

Sighting bison and lynx in the wild is a truly unique experience. For nature lovers and wildlife watchers, Romania offers a rare opportunity to observe these fascinating animals in their natural environment. It's a touch of wilderness and a connection to nature that reminds us how precious and worthy of protection our natural environment is.

The conservation of bison and lynx in Romania is of great importance for the preservation of biodiversity and the protection of these impressive species. It is a testament to efforts to conserve wildlife and preserve natural habitats for future generations.
