Romania - Giant clear cut in Natura 2000 site Fagaras mountains. The EU has initiated an infringement procedure due to logging in protected areas.
Romania is home to the largest tracks of primary and old growth forests in the EU outside Scandinavia. However, the extremely valuable forests are disappearing at a high rate due to legal and illegal logging, even in Natura 2000 protected sites or buffer zones of national parks.
