The environmental heritage – The Iezer Calarasi Reserve comprises 271 well monitored bird species that are protected on the basis of the Berna (L13/1993) and Bonn (L13/1998) Conventions. As far as the AIA Ciocanesti Nature Reserve is concerned, according to Marin Hodorogea, the director of Ciocanesti Piscicola trading company, the WWF team has identified 138 bird species in this area.

The project team has focused their attention on the biology and ecology of three species. Our study started from the analisys of specialised data, we have followed the development of the main ecological events and changes which are generally determined by the alterations that happened in the configuration and microclimate of the habitats. The set aims were: creating a data base to reflect the current state of the ecosystems and avicenozas of the two reservations, doing a qualitative and quantitative inventory , studying the fauna from a phenological and bioecological points of view, establishing the degree of endanger and conservation at the local and European level, identifying natural and anthropical factors that have influenced the dynamics of the three fish species population and their habitats as well as finding proper measures of protection and conservation. The team has benefited from the total support of the A.P.M. Calarasi specialists who are our partners in the project (executive director Elena Adrian and head of the biodiversity department Manuela Iordache).
