România is a country located in Southeastern and Central Europe , North of the Balkan Peninsula , on the Lower Danube , within and outside the Carpathian arch , bordering on the Black Sea . Almost all of the Danube Delta is located within its territory. Romania shares a border with Hungary and Serbia to the west, Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova to the northeast, and Bulgaria to the south.
Romania is a country with a high percent of intact natural ecosystems. We can find here the biggest area of natural forest from Europe. On its territory, there are a lot of corridors of migration. The high level of the diversity of the ecosystems and the geographically localisation reflects on the floristically opulence – more then 3500 species of superior plants and fauna – over 30.000 species. The hunting areas have dimensions of minimum 5.000 hectares of plains, 7 hectares of hills and 10.000 hectares in the mountains.
Danube River ends its journey of almost 1864 miles through Europe in south-eastern Romania. Here the river divides into 3 frayed branches (Chilia, Sulina, Sfântu Gheorghe) forming the Danube Delta. It is the newest land in the country, with beaches expanding almost 65 feet into the sea every year.
Overall, the delta is a triangular swampy area of marshes, floating reed islands and sandbanks. Danube Delta is the place where hundreds of species of birds exist, including pelicans , swans , wild geese and flamingos . The delta is also a seasonal stopover for migratory birds. Some rare species of birds in the Dobrogea area are the pelican , cormorant , little deer , Red-breasted Goose , White-fronted Goose and the Mute Swan .
