Description

Description (EN):

The project team attention will be on the Danube river as it passes Iron Gates Natural Park and Djerdap National Park, and two specific nature sites, Balta (Delta) Nera and Carska Bara Nature reserve. Project objectives are: 1. Evaluation of environmental current situation in cross border “sister” Danube banks nature reservation Djerdap (Serbia) and national parks Iron Gate (Romania). In this objective surface water quality will be evaluated on Danube and Danube tributaries from both countries. 2. Raising the awareness of young generations on both sides of the border on the immediate need to protect the region remarkable natural heritage and also raising the awareness of local society on the advantages of sustainable use of natural resources and environmental protection. 3. Development of state universities - University Politehnica Timisoara and Technical Faculty in Bor - infrastructure thru state-of-art analytical equipment for environmental analysis, to increase their research capabilities in order to assure their goals for the future: significant contribution to education of next generation of experts.
