From exploring the biodiversity of the Danube Delta to discovering the role of bison in the Southern Carpathians’ ecosystems, Rewilding Romania’s educational activities as part of the Different School Week program gave pupils the chance to learn about nature through observation, interactive games, and hands-on experiences.
In the Țarcu Mountains, where European bison once again roam free, the first edition of Rewilding Week combined nature exploration with direct involvement in its recovery. From 27 September to 1 October, participants explored the area’s wild landscapes and joined the Rewilding România team in wildlife monitoring, ecosystem restoration, and activities that support coexistence between people and bison.
Between 31 August and 1 September 2026, in Tulcea, 22 teachers and nature educators took part in the first stage of the “Junior Guide in the Danube Delta” project, an initiative of România Sălbatică, developed in partnership with Rewilding Romania.
Would you be able to recognize a vulture if you saw one in flight? Would you know how to tell it apart from an eagle? If your answer is “no,” you’re not alone. Today, few Romanians still know that, until about a century ago, four vulture species were part of our country’s wildlife.
Recently, Dana Rogoz accepted Rewilding Romania’s invitation to become an ambassador for the LIFE with Bison project. Before telling the story of these mammals’ return to the Țarcu Mountains, she chose to discover it alongside the team on the ground and the local communities.
Rewilding Romania is expanding its team and seeking an Administrative Assistant to support activities at Ultima Frontieră in the Popina–Periprava area of the Danube Delta.
The future of nature is not predetermined; it depends on the decisions we make today. Every rewilding action contributes directly to the restoration of ecosystems and to building a more balanced future.
The presence of the Balkan loach (Cobitis elongata) in the Cerna River catchment was discovered during the project “Identifying barriers in five catchments in the Southern Carpathians, Romania”, coordinated by Rewilding Romania in partnership with the Aqua Crisius Association. The finding complements the study carried out by the Aqua Crisius team between 2020 and 2024.
The position of Hide and Tourists Manager offers a new opportunity for those passionate about nature, wildlife and photography to work in the Danube Delta, at Ultima Frontiera, Periprava. This is a key role in developing experiences for nature tourists and wildlife photographers, involving the management of photography hides infrastructure and the coordination of visitor groups to ensure a memorable experience, delivered with full respect for nature.
On July 31st, we mark International Rangers’ Day – a day dedicated to those who, alongside ecologists, biologists, and other specialists, actively contribute to protecting nature and biodiversity.
Established in 1992 by the International Ranger Federation, the day is a well-deserved recognition of the efforts of those who work quietly but are deeply involved in the field. From monitoring wildlife to helping local communities co-exist with animals, rangers play a vital role in maintaining the balance between man and nature. With professionalism, courage, and dedication, they serve as the essential link between conservation, science, and the community.
