"[Romania is committed to] the creation of a network of seventeen national parks during the next five
to ten years, as well as of other protected areas covering 12 per cent of the total forested surface.
In answer to the generous call of the World Wide Fund For Nature, we set forth to speed up the
implementation of this target, so that, by the year 2000 cutting down trees should be prohibited..."
Emil Constantinescu, President, 26/2/97
