Favorable conservation status - The Habitats Directive and the Romanian legislation:

A. A state of conservation of natural habitat is on all the factors acting on it and its characteristic species and which may affect long-term distribution, structure and function, and survival of species that are characteristic. Conservation status of a natural habitat is considered "favorable" when conditions are met:

  *  or natural area and it covers areas within this area are stable or increasing;
  *specific structure and function is necessary for its long-term preservation and maintenance of their probability is high for the foreseeable future;
  * are characteristic species are in a favorable conservation status, as it is defined below (Section B)

B. The conservation status of species is given by acting on all factors that can influence its long-term spread and abundance of species populations within the European Union. Conservation status is considered "favorable" when conditions are met:

    * population dynamics data indicate that this species remains and is likely to maintain long-term as a viable component of its natural habitat;
    * natural range of species is not reduced and no risk to reduce the foreseeable future;
