Scientific Substantiation Methods of the Ecological Restoration Projects from the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve

Abstract

In the period 1994-2007 in the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve (DDBR) were carried out ecological restoration projects. For the scientific substantiation of the ecological restoration projects, one should use a quantitative and qualitative package of methods to ensure complementarity between their strengths and their limits, aiming at improving the accuracy of the estimation of tangible and intangible costs and benefits, reducing the risk of deferral or cancellation due to lack of financial resources, or to some ecological restoration projects for the sustainable development of the DDBR. Based on this type of a conclusion, for the scientific substantiation of the ecological restoration projects from the DDBR, we aim to use a mix of methods: the Logical Framework Approach, the multicriteria analysis, and the cost-benefit analysis. These methods must reflect the diversity of ecosystems and services provided by them, which is specific to the DDBR.
