Cuvnt inainte Foreword

Delta Dunrii este una dintre marile comori ale acestuipmnt binecuvntat. Nu este doar o balt dinfundul curii Romniei, unde ne duceam n taberelecomuniste de var, nu numai un loc n care sindicatelepescuiesc n concediu vara sau parlamentarii vneaztoamna... este nc un motiv de mndrie naional,de contiina faptului c avem pe teritoriul romnesc

un patrimoniu mondial UNESCO. Nu putem scoatedin tabloul heraldic naional Delta Dunrii, asa cumnu putem ignora Dobrogea cu Tomisul, Capidava,Adamclisi i poetul Ovidiu i cu cele peste 40 de situriistorice ale sale Este, n ordinea marilor resurseromneti, locul cu cel mai mare potential ecoturisticinternaional neexploatat al Romniei. Orice romn artrebui s tie despre comoara de lng Marea Neagrpe care o gestionm ns... destul de ngrijortor i oputem pierde distrugnd-o.A face ru Naturii nsemn a ne face ru nou.

Sloganul nostru la Salvai Dunrea i Delta este:n lupta cu oamenii pentru Binele Naturii. i n nalpentru binele oamenilor! i pentru c sunt de prerec farmecul discret al nostru st n comuniunea cuNatura, n autenticitatea relaiei cu pmntul, vinvit s descoperii n paginile acestei cri de ce sespune despre Delta Dunrii c este cea mai bogat atreia rezervaie umed ca biodiversitate din Europa...Aai care sunt zonele strict protejate i ce vietiascund ele, multe aate pe Lista roie a speciilorameninate cu dispariia. Vei ntelege mai bine dece Delta Dunrii este paradisul aproape pierdut

Liviu MihaiuPreedinteAsociaia Salvai Dunrea i Delta

The Danube Delta is one of the great treasures ofthis bountiful land. Its not just Romanias backyardpond, where we use to go to communist summercamps, where unions go shing during theirsummer holidays or parliamentaries go hunting inthe autumn... It can still be considered a point ofnational pride and we should all be aware that this

place is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We simplycannot exclude the Danube Delta from our nationalpatrimony, in the same way Dobrudja cannot beleft out, along with Tomis, Capidava, Adamclisi,the Roman poet Ovid and other 40 historical sitesIn the hierarchy of great Romanian resourses, thisplace has the highest potential for internationalecoturism. Every Romanian citizen should knowabout the hidden treasure near the Black Sea andthe fact that the way we manage it now is quitealarming and can irremediably lead to disaster.

To harm nature is to harm oneself. Our motto here atSave the Danube and the Delta is: Fighting peoplefor natures sake and, eventually, for peoples sake!Because I strongly believe in our connection tonature, in the authenticity of our relationship withthe land, I hereby invite you to discover in the pagesof this book, why the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserveis ranked as the third largest biodiversity in theworld... Find out about the strictly protected areasand the creatures that live within their bounderies,many of them classied in the Red List of threatenedspecies. You will have a better understanding whythe Danube Delta is now the paradise almost lost
