| Popis: | The prolific activity of academician Ion Th. Simionescu was focused not only on paleontology and geology, but also on natural sciences and nature conservation. An encyclopedic personality, the great savant considered nature preservation as a genuine duty. His holistic argumentation on the necessary protection of flora, fauna and natural habitats was based on important scientific, ethical, historical, economic and sociocultural aspects. Academician Ion Th. Simonescu permanently promoted the education for nature conservation, for maintaining the ecological balance through a long-term correlation of the principles of nature protection with the economic objectives, and for taking legislative measures that allow their sustainable exploitation. His legacy includes thematic volumes, specialized guides, school textbooks, and numerous popularization articles and conferences with a significant affective impact on the public. All his work, characterized by scientific rigor, was based on direct observations in nature, being presented in an accessible manner for both less educated people and for decisionmakers who had the possibility to issue a suitable legislation in this regard. |
