reservation

Twelve bears were captured in mountain resort Sinaia, central Romania, and will be taken to a reservation in Arges county, southern Romania, as they had come down into town numerous times over the last few days, Sinaia mayor Vlad Oprea said Thursday.

A total number of nine lion cubs, aged between four and 14 months, were taken from the Braila Zoo, eastern Romania, and placed in special cages, and will be sent, together with another two felines, from Brasov and Hunedoara, central Romania, to a natural reservation in South Africa.

The Romanian Senate approved Monday a legislative proposal dubbing the Rosia Montana natural and archeological reservation, creating the administration of the reservation, which evaluates the natural resources in the area and issues environment agreements, protecting, preserving and restoring the area.
