Descriere
The Meledic Plateau Protected Area has a double conservation status: protected
natural area of national interest (code 2.267) and Natura 2000 site (ROSCI0199). The
Protected Natural Area of National Interest Meledic Plateau is a mixed reserve of
geological, speleological, zoological and botanical importance. The Natura 2000 Site
Meledic Plateau was established for the conservation of a priority habitat and an
invertebrate species – the lepidopteran Lycaena dispar. An inventory of the terrestrial
invertebrate species was conducted, within the scientific studies that underlay the
elaboration of the Management Plan of this protected area, and three invertebrate
species of conservation interest were identified: two species of community interest –
Lycaena dispar (the Large Copper Butterfly) and Lucanus cervus (the Stag Beetle), and
one species of national interest – Euscorpius carpathicus (the Carpathian Scorpion). The
results of the inventory conducted from August 2012 to August 2013 indicate that
Lucanus cervus and Euscorpius carpathicus are resident, quite rare and isolated species
in the protected area’s perimeter, and Lycaena dispar is a resident, quite rare species,
with a dynamic distribution in the Natura 2000 Site Meledic Plateau, determined by the
availability of hygrophytic vegetation needed by the larva and adult during the entire
period of the species seasonal activity.
