This layer presents built up areas in the Piatra Craiului National Park and Bucegi Nature Park National Park Pilot Area.

The data collected within the ConnectGREEN Project that was implemented between June 2018 and October 2021. The data were collected in accordance with the “Methodology for identification of ecological corridors in the Carpathian countries by using large carnivores as umbrella species” (Okanikova et al, 2021) developed within the ConnectGREEN Project.

The pilot area included Piatra Craiului National Part and Bucegi Nature Park National Park in Romania. The objective of fieldwork in the pilot area was to maintain / restore ecological corridors secure a viable population of large carnivores in the Carpathians. The selected joint approach was meant to accelerate the implementation processes and put into practice much-awaited infrastructure developments that faces the risk of being delayed due to non-conformity with safety and environmental standards. In the thematic map you can find data about core areas from ecological network point of view, occurrence data for large carnivores and data on barriers – built areas and fences.
