This layer presents carnivorous species in the Apuseni Mountains and South Western Carpathians and National Park Djerdap Pilot Area.

The data had been 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 Apuseni Mountains and South Western Carpathians in Romania and  National Park Djerdap in Serbia. 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 on barriers – built-up areas, roads, railways and fences, information about observation points, waterways and non-forest areas.
