National Ecological Network of the Republic of Moldova Map
Moldova has a well-established system of protected areas. However, these sites have historically been identifi ed on the basis of national conservation priorities. It was only with the ratifi cation of the Ramsar Convention in 1999 that for the first time international criteria were formally applied in delineating and managing valuable habitats. At the same time, Moldova’s endorsement of the Pan-European Biological and Landscape Diversity Strategy in 1995 brought with it the commitment to contribute to the establishment of the Pan European Ecological Network.
The Ecological Network of Moldova presents a totality of natural habitats that are inter-connected physically (territorially) and functionally through populations of species and ecosystems, natural and historic landscapes, natural and cultural monuments, which inherently belong to landscapes. These include artificial landscapes and elements of special value for biodiversity protection, maintaining geo-systemic balance and for research and aesthetics. The Ecological Network presents an informational, co-coordinative, and legal mechanism to safeguard its physical components, the sovereignty of Moldova and State responsibilities in relation to national and international components of biological diversity.
