Following an exploratory visit by PAN Parks conservation manager Vlado Vancura, Rodna Mountains National Park in Northern Romania has signed a letter of intent to join the PAN Parks network. A meeting with all 18 park employees and the head of Romanian Protected Areas within Romsilva, Mircea Verghelet, took place to explain the PAN Parks verification process and explore the potential for Rodna to join the Network. Vlado said 'this was an exceptionally useful meeting. The park seems very committed to the PAN Parks process and some elements of the PAN Parks standard are in place already'. Following the meeting the first draft of the PAN Parks core zone was drawn up and the parks management plan is due to be approved later this year.
