About us

The Research and Development Institute for Wildlife and Mountain Resources (ICDCRM) Miercurea-Ciuc was established in December, 2018 based on the Government Decision no. 992/2018 regarding the reorganization of the Research and Development Institute for Wildlife and Mountain Resources Miercurea-Ciuc by abolishing the Miercurea-Ciuc Potato Research and Production Station.

 

It is a public institution, subordinated to the Academy of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences "Gheorghe Ionescu Șișești" (ASAS), financed from its own revenues and subsidies granted from the state budget, through the ASAS budget.

 

The main fields of activity in which the institute carries out its research and development activities are: agriculture, wildlife, forest management, mountain meadows, agri-environmental issues. The institute has the role of promoting research and application of sustainable solutions in the field of ecology and mountain resources, having a significant impact on the protection of the environment and the responsible use of natural resources. The ICDCRM focuses on research on the management of mountain fauna, the protection of wildlife species and their habitats, ecology and applied biology studies, and the development of environmental protection policies. The institute also develops methods to improve the management of natural resources in mountain areas, taking into account the ecological balance and the economic and social needs of local communities. In this context, ICDCRM contributes to the education and training of specialists in the field  of wildlife and mountain resource management, collaborating with other educational institutions, local authorities and non-governmental organizations.

 

Although the institute has a short history, it has already made its mark in the agro-environmental field, having several ISI Thomson Reuters indexed publications.
