Context:

ROSCI0290 Ialomite corridor

Area: 27 109 ha

The site represents the most important ecological corridor that crosses Baragan Plain, which develops from west to east, linking the Subcarpathians and the Danube Plain, Ialomita being the only alohton river in the Baragan Plain. In this way, Ialomita and its main branches Prahova and Teleajenul – connect the Danube meadow with the forest and hilly plains area, crossing the driest area of ​​the country – Baragan Plain.

The site is particularly important in terms of the habitats specific to the meadows of the big rivers that it shelters – meadow slopes with pedunculated oak, poplar and willow ditches, vegetation of watercourses and shores, communities of highgrass grasses, low altitude grasslands, but also through the specific vegetation of the steppe terraces that border the meadow – ponto-sarmatic bushes, steppe meadows, etc., as well as through the fauna species existing here – beaver, etc.

ROSPA0152 Ialomita Corridor

Area: 25 307.9 ha

Natura 2000 site ROSPA0152 Ialomita Corridor has been declared a special avifaunistic protection area by G.D. no. 663/2016. The site ROSPA0152 Ialomita Corridor presents a complete overlap with Natura 2000 site ROSCI0290 Ialomita Corridor

The site consists of the Ialomiţa Valley corridor, downstream from the confluence with the Prahova River, up to the confluence with the Danube, to which is added in the upstream part of the Prahova River corridor, downstream from the town of Cocorastii, and the Telejean river, downstream from the Coslegi locality, as well as from a series of forest bodies located on the terraces / intersections on the right side of the Ialomiţa River.
