verge of extinction eco regions of the world. More than 6000 kinds of flora and
fauna and 30 types of natural systems are a part of biodiversity of the Danube

The essential part of the delta is located in Romania;
other part belongs to Odesa Oblast (the Danube Biosphere Preserve, where more
than 20 plants from Red Book of Ukraine grow, more than 125 kinds of animals
included).
One of the effective means of adaptation is the Danube

years. The reed beds is a natural buffer system enabling to adjust to the
changes and facilitate extreme weather conditions influences. They help water
purification of river systems, increase soil fertility in coastlands, make
