Nature conservation in the time of coronavirus: One foundation's work in Romania’s Făgăraș Mountains

As the coronavirus lockdown measures were introduced in Romania in mid-March, the team of Conservation Carpathia, which works to create a wilderness reserve in the Southern Romanian Carpathians, started a community outreach program benefiting the elders in the area and helping children keep up with the school classes now delivered online.

Christoph Promberger, the executive director of Foundation Conservation Carpathia (FCC), told Romania Insider more about the foundation’s community outreach initiatives and plans to develop a food hub, reintroduce the beaver in the region, and set up a wildlife management board involving representatives from the communities in the area.
