Romania is also in the process of developing Spatial Data Infrastructure in response to the Geographic Information 2000 Initiative launched by the European Commission in 1996 and the Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe (INSPIRE) initiative launched in 2001. The focus of this article is based on inventorying, mapping natural habitats and wild species of Community interest and implementing a geoportal application to help users to share the geospatial information in the environment and sustainable development sectors.

In accordance to the European Union Environment policies, the main concerns are addressed by a continuous deterioration of natural habitats and the threats posted to certain species. Romania has also to ensure the establishment of Natura2000 network in accordance to the Birds and Habitats Directives and to prepare protection measures for the community interest sites. An appropriate management and monitoring system has to be developed and implemented by decision makers of the "Balta Mica a Brailei" Natural Park Administration. There is no simple answer to ensure these tasks, but during the project there is increasing optimism that the application of GIS and geoportal tools will allow them to make decisions to better conserve its resources and protect its biodiversity. This article is focused on theability to use GIS technology as a tool to monitor habitat changes, track community interest species and predict future land and resource use that is essential to protect natural heritage and to maintain a favorable conservation status.

With its huge diversity of plant and animal species and high level of endemism, Romania is nominated as a European biodiversity hotspot. Biodiversity is being lost at a dramatic rate unless strategically conservation measurements are taken. Halting the loss of biodiversity is regarded as a priority to the European Member States which are encouraged to work together within the same strong legislative framework in order to protect our most vulnerable species and habitat types. Romania is also in the process of developing the Spatial Data Infrastructure in response to Geographic Information 2000 Initiative launched by the European Commission in 1996 and the INSPIRE (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe) initiative launched in 2001. The focus of this article is the development of the geospatial architecture framework and applications required for efficient inventory and mapping of natural habitats and wild species of community interest. Implementing a biodiversity geoportal application is seen as critical in order to help users share the geospatial information in the environment and sustainable development sectors.

This centrally managed
