Summary
The Fagaras Mountains of Romania make up one of the world's last wild places; they are the highest mountains in the Southern Carpathians, consisting primarily of old-growth unfragmented forests that provide habitat to hundreds of species, including wolves, brown bears, and lynxes. They are also home to over 2,500 plant species, many of which are endemic to the region. Throughout the past several decades, overhunting and logging have placed a major threat to the biodiversity of this region.
