The European Commission launched
in 1992 the LIFE programme, a
financial instrument for co-financing initiatives that promotes the
environmental sustainable development, nature and habitats preserving,
administrative structures, environmental services, educating and informing the
European population (member states and those in course of adhesion).
In the 3rd phase, implemented
between 2000 and 2004, and subsequently expanded until 2006, due to the delay
in the enactment of LIFE’s programme
legal bases, they are continued activities of preserving natural habitats,
natural flora and fauna, especially through the Natura 2000 network.
The LIFE05NAT/RO/000170 “Enhancing the
protection system for large carnivores in Vrancea County” project is
financed by the European Union through
the LIFE III project and was
elaborated in order to continue conservation activities, administrating and
restoration of viable populations for large carnivores from the Ursus arctos, Canis lupus and Lynx lynx species, as part of the
Vrancea County ecosystems, in coexistence with the local population.
The
activities that will be developed through this project precede an initiative
materialised by another European financed LIFE project, starting in 2002, LIFE02/NAT/RO/8576 – “In situ conservation of large carnivores from Vrancea County”.
