Description

The project aims to protect a very valuable area for its biodiversity – the wetland/ nature reserve Garla mare – Salcia, which represents one of the last remaining natural areas of the Green Corridor of the Danube. The project promotes nature conservation activities in a rural development context of the local communities (Salcia, Gârla Mare, Vrata si Pristol – Mehedinti County) that are settled near the protected area.
