The selected caves were monitored to establish management plan for speo-tourism. Several aspects were taken in consideration, among these the biology, geology, climatology, geo-morphology, paleontology and archeology of each cave. Our study is the result of several monitoring stages and it evaluates the thermic characteristics of air, carbon dioxide content, water temperature, quantity of oxygen dissolved in water, evaluation of biodiversity, evaluation of fossil bones deposits and monitoring of underground risk factors. We made propositions for sectors with integral conservation and sectors where speleo-tourist activities are allowed. The selected caves were monitored to establish their sections and finishing the management plan for speo-tourism. Several aspects were taken in consideration, among these the biology, geology, climatology, geomorphology, paleontology and archeology of each cave. Keywords— cave; monitoring; sectorization; protection class
