* Romanian Flora

The vegetation includes three major areas: • steppe and forested steppe – specific to the plains, but intensely transformed by practicing agriculture • the forest fund of decidous and coniferous trees, with precious species of zâmbru (Pinus cembra)and yew tree (Taxus bacata) • the alpine vegetation, with rare floristic species: rose bay, the edelweiss ("the queen’s flower"), the gentian, the sweet pea and a unique world: Garofiţa Pietrii Craiului (Piatra Craiului pink). In Banat and the Northern part of Oltenia, Mediterranean species appear: the almond tree, the lilac and the wild fig tree, the black and maritime pine. At the moment, the forests cover a little over 26% of Romania’s surface. In what concerns the trees, the beech prevails, followed by the oak, the conifers and other species.

*Romanian Fauna

Over 400,000 ha of the country’s territory are affected by the draught, as a result of the pollution. The fauna comprises of rare species: the bustard, the lynx, the mountain cock, the black grouse, the pelican, the white-tailed eagle, the sturgeons (fishes with black spawn), but also large stocks of chamois, bear, wolf. Extincted species have been introduced into the specific habitat, such as the alpine marmot (the Retezat and Rodna Mountains), the bison (Haţeg and in the counties of Dâmboviţa and Neamţ), the moufflon (Dobrogea), the raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) Romania is considered the richest European country in what the hunting stock is concerned.The existence of some unique natural landscapes, the presence of many rare species of vegetation and fauna required certain protection measures of the environment. During the inter-war period the first natural park is created – The Retezat National Park (1935) – and the first natural reserves are constituted.

In September 1990, the Romanian Government declared the Danube Delta and some nearby areas (580 000ha) as a Biosphere Reserve (RBDD).

In the same year the Danube Delta was recognized as a wetland of international importance, especially as a waterfowl habitat, and it was included in the RAMSAR Convention together with other 600 similar areas.

In December 1990, the Danube Delta was included on the UNESCO list of World Cultural and Natural Heritage

THE DANUBE DELTA – NATURAL RESERVE OF THE BIOSPHERE

•The only delta in the world which was declared reserve of the biosphere.•It has the most compact reed plot in the world.•It annually grows with 40 square meters. •There are 135 species of fish and 331 species of birds in the Danube Delta, most of themprotected. The Danube Delta is also called “ the birds’ paradise”.

•There are many excellent bird watching areas in Romania, the most stunning of which is the Danube Delta - 5000 square kilometers of waterways, lakes, floating reed islets, sand dunes and virgin forest.

City’s panoramas

The town was first mentioned in 1408 when Prince Alexander the Good of Moldavia (1400–1432) listed the customs points in the principality in his privilege for Polish merchants

 Men bearing the name Bakó are documented in Transylvania in the Middle Ages. The town may have been named after a Hungarian innkeeper who, supposedly, had an inn, the first building in the town, on the road from Bacău to Roman.

Today, the name of our town is linked with the great poet George Bacovia.Although his real name was George Vasiliu, he wanted to be recognized as poet of Bacau city.He wrote sad poems like: Plumb(Lead), Singur(Alone), etc.
