My
Nature Portal Romania (in Romanian but with a
version partially in English) is a very nice site containing
thousands of pictures and records of species from all taxa across
all Romania. This makes it the most powerful one on this
subject from the entire country. The single thing which stresses a
bit the user is the fact that an account making is
compulsory (with an e-mail confirmation) for accessing the information
on the site. This hinders the access of most occasional users
and transforms the site somehow into a community. But in
contrast to our site the publication of pictures and information on
My Nature Portal Romania is very facile after you have an
account.
Eukarya, The Encyclopedia of
Flora and Fauna from Romania
(in Romanian) is quite similar to the previous site with
the same compulsory account making which makes quite stressful the
access of the occasional visitors seeking for rapid
information on the nature of Romania. On the other hand the
site design is very modern and the search engine a powerful
one. It is not clear for us how a member can publish
information here.
The Carpathian
Basin Species is a Hungarian site which has an almost
complete collection of species from the Pannonian and
Transylvanian Basins (this is the meaning of 'the Carpathian
Basin' in the vision of Hungarian geographers and historians.
It is very useful for the Romanian florists if they deal with
plants from Transylvania though some species are erroneously
identified (i.e. Centaurea
sadleriana). We really don't know why Google
reports this site as being malicious (as on 5th of
October 2009) but we really have to congratulate its authors
for this magnificent collection and digital flora and
fauna.
