Abstract:
By definition a natural park is a protected area designed to protect and conserve the
natural environment in which the interaction between human activities and nature created
a unique area, of significant environmental and cultural value and with great
biodiversity.The main purpose of these natural parks is to maintain the harmony between
humans and nature by protecting the biological diversity of the habitats and the
environment. In recent years both the natural and anthropic areas of the Vişeu Basin have
been greatly damaged by extreme hydric phenomenon caused by the chaotic deforestation
of the area, increased precipitation, high pluvio-nival regime and the accentuated
asymmetry of the basin itself. By developing certain hydrographical installations and
conserving the protected areas a balance can be reached between the natural harmony and
the strict necessities of the anthropic habitats. The first priority of this developing is the
environmental legislation and biodiversity protection.
