*The evolution of the Danube Delta in the last twenty years. What are the signs of this evolution? Is the Delta better protected than before or not? What are the main risks regarding the environmental degradation in the Delta?
*Is professional fishing compatible with the biosphere reserve status? Under what conditions?
*Is tourism a chance or a threat?
*Life in the Danube Delta. What are the particularities of living in a wetland like the Delta?
*The role of the inhabitants in the protection of nature in the delta. Which local practices should be maintained and which ones should be changed?
