Eco-cinegetic Management in Romania’s Maramureș Forest District

Hunting has been one of the first major concerns of humans since their appearance on this earth for many thousands of years. For the civilized world, however, the hunting activity made huge leaps of content, manifestation, and attitude, eventually reaching to be defined as a cultural, educational, recreational, sports, and even art activity. The present paper has as a subject the national hunting fund, having as a case study, the hunting fund of Maramureș county, specifically, the Vișeu district. We presented the national situation regarding the hunting fund, and only later, after reviewing the definition and characteristics of hunting, we started to present the data for Vișeu district hunting fund, noting that it has a significant hunting potential supported by sustainable management that may still involve adjustment, improvements, and assignment of methodologies, strategies and good environmental practices.
