24.000 ha de paduri primare de fag, propunerea Romaniei pentru Patrimoniul Mondial UNESCO

Under the coordination of The Ministry of Environment, Waters\udand Forests, about 24000 ha of primeval beech forests located in 8 natural\udprotected area from the Romanian Carpathians were included for inscription\udinto the World Heritage List to extend the „Primeval Beech Forests of\udthe Carpathians and the Ancient Beech Forests of Germany” (1133bis). The\udextended World Heritage property is proposed to carry the joint new name:\ud„Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe”.\udSupported by 13 European countries (Romania included), the nomination\udproposes to establish a transnational serial UNESCO property, with a surface\udof more that 95000 ha, that reunites the most representative and well\udpreserved beech forests from the natural areal of this species in order to\udillustrate the ecological process of extension - that is in progress at present\ud- of beech on the European continent. The process of choosing these canditate\udsites was thought for completing the existent sites and for providing\udarguments and reflecting better on the extension of species distribution at\udthe level of Europe. At the end of January 2016, Austria, the coordinator\udcountry of the nomination process at the international level transmitted the\udcommon dossier for the nomination to the committee of evaluation of UNESCO\udWorld Heritage List
