Abstract
More than ever in history, we must manage, preserve and restore our natural resources. In accordance to the European Union Environment policies, the main concerns are addressed by a continuous deterioration of natural habitats and the threats posted to certain species. Romania has also to ensure the establishment of Natura2000 network in accordance to the Birds and Habitats Directives and to prepare protection measures for the community interest sites. An appropriate management and monitoring system has to be developed and implemented by decision makers of the “Balta Mica a Brailei” Natural Park Administration. There is no simple answer to ensure these tasks, but during the project there is increasing optimism that the application of GIS and geoportal tools will allow them to make decisions to better conserve its resources and protect its biodiversity. This article is focused on theability to use GIS technology as a tool to monitor habitat changes, track community interest species and predict future land and resource use that is essential to protect natural heritage and to maintain a favorable conservation status.
