About Cosmin-Ovidiu Manci

Hello everyone and welcome to my website!

Like you have already seen or maybe you know my name is Cosmin Ovidiu Manci and I work as a biologist at the Retezat National Park Administration in Romania.

Ever since I was a young boy I was passionate about nature, plants, bugs, animals…you name it. I used to spend endless hours surrounded by a fantastic world, and as I grew up this feeling didn’t leave. After finishing the primary school I continued my studies at the Forestry Highschool in Timisoara, and after this, the obvious choice was to study Biology. This was done at the Timisoara West University. I finished my Master Degree at the “Babes–Bolyai” University in Cluj with a paper on “Romanian Odonata”. In present I am continuing my studies with a PhD at the “Babes-Bolyai” University… again on dragonflies.

During these years I was involved in different projects and published several papers.

Any time it is possible I try to freeze some of the moments I am fortunate to see in nature. I do this in photos… and all these websites are in part because of this.

What about this website?

On this website I am trying to put together a photo album for Romanian species and not only. So, here you will find not only photos but also more information about orchids.
