The Danube Delta is one of Europe's leading wildlife sanctuaries, located in the eastern part of
Romania.
The Delta is a 2,200-square-mile wildlife reserve designated by UNESCO as a "Reservation of the Biosphere". Its tree-fringed lakes, reed islands, marshes and oak forests are home to more than 3,400 animal species, along with over a thousand varieties of plant life. The Delta's waters teem with some 160 species of fresh- and salt-water fish. Bird-watchers will be especially enthralled here, with opportunities to spot more than 300 species of migratory and permanent birds including eagles, egrets, vultures, geese, cranes, ibises, cormorants, swans and pelicans.
