The results of surveys upon the Bombina variegata populations in the Cozia National Park are presented. 52 location points were found. The species is widespread in the investigated area, is resilient to some extent to the current level of natural and human disturbance, is moderately anthropophilic and shows evidence of previous introgressive hybridization with B. bombina . The habitats of the various populations in the area show different quality, connectivity and dynamics. These data should be useful for any management strategy for Bombina variegata in the National Park and its surrounding areas.
