Europe is trying to open its own version of Yellowstone National Park

[FfFfFfFF 58,068]

Going on four years now, an organization in Romania called the Foundation Conservation Carpathia  has poured time and resources into protecting the country’s Carpathian forests. Located in the Transylvanian Alps, the region is known for postcard valleys, jagged peaks and prospering biodiversity. Larger mammals that face existential threats in most corners of the world — brown bears, wolves, wild boar — roam the area.

Adventure photographer Nicholas J.R. White has been documenting this place; his work was recently featured in The New York Times.

Members of Romania’s FCC are aware of the land’s beauty and determined to help it reach its potential.

Romania has more untouched land than most European countries -the tricky part is making sure it stays protected. Romania currently has just 12 national parks . A Southern Carpathians park, though, could be the country’s Yellowstone. It would be a massive win for the country specifically, and conservationists the world over. 

White’s photos document the efforts of FCC workers as they put a stop to illegal practices like logging or poaching, set aside leases for hunting and go about daily chores, from collecting bear scat to replanting spruce trees.

The lack of a supervolcano makes this seem a bit less excited

 

But what beautiful scenery

they didn't succeed with their own version of Disney Park, it's a flop

EDIT: idk this is what they said in the show of The Imagineering Story on Disney+ that Disney Paris is such a flop that they are regretting building it

Though there are no active vulcanos, there are vulcanic mountains and lakes formed in former craters in the Carphatians.

I would rather choose this compared to a potential time bomb that may or may not to wipe out the entire humane race.
