<P><DIV class="framednote">【選択動機】<BR>

私は、今年の春に、NGOの学生チームとして、ルーマニアに行き、貧困のための住居建築活動を行ってきました。私の活動地はハンガリーに近い田舎町で、黒海に面しているドナウデルタとは遠く、実際には行けませんでしたが、是非行きたかった場所でした。

そのためこれを機会に、私自身ルーマニア唯一の自然遺産であるドナウデルタを学び、またルーマニアというあまり有吊でない国について、少しでもみなさんが知ってもらえたらとうれしいです。

The waters of the Danube, which flow into the Black Sea, form the largest and best preserved of Europe's deltas - The Danube Delta (Delta Dunarii).

The Danube Delta is home to more than 300 migratory and permanent bird species; 160 kinds of fish that include caviar-bearing sturgeon and 800 plant families.


This wetlands preserve covers more than 1,678,000 acres (2,622 sq. miles) comprising channels and canals widening into tree-fringed lakes, reed islands, numerous lakes and marshes, oak forests intertwined with lianas and creepers, desert dunes and traditional fishermen villages. 

<BR>

CLIMATE The prevailing continental climate, with only 18 inches of annual rainfall, is temporarily influenced by proximity to the sea and the humidity rising from countless inland lakes and small waterways.

CONSERVATION VALUE 


The Delta is the meeting point of Palaearctic and Mediterranean biogeographic zones and represents an unique dynamic wetland ecosystem containing a rich biodiversity of wetland habitats. The site is internationally significant for birds, both breeding and migratory, including a number of globally-threatened species. It is also a vitally important buffer system between the hydrographical basin of the River Danube and the Black Sea. 

CULTURAL HERITAGE 

The very long history of trading along the Danube is evident from remains of Greek and Roman settlements (including a lighthouse). Villages surrounding the Delta show a Turkish influence.

VISITORS AND VISITOR FACILITIES 

Permission is needed to visit the nature reserves which are closed during the bird breeding season. Away from the three main channels the areas are rarely frequented with very few visitors.

Tours

A variety of eco-tours are available through U.S. and Romania based tour operators, including cruises that originate in Germany or Austria and go all the way down to the Black Sea. When planning a trip to the Danube Delta it is wise to make arrangements through a tour operator. For a list of tour operators specialized in Danube Delta tours please contact the nearest Romanian Tourist Office. 

Camping is allowed in most areas of the Danube Delta

【感想】<BR>ルーマニアという国を視点に、ドナウデルタを選びましたが、ドナウ川は、さまざまな国に流れ、ヨーロッパの重要な役割を果たしていることに改めて気づきました。

国によって、吊前が違うことなど、今回勉強して、学ぶことがたくさんありました。
