In the past, people and beasts have shared the same space, in a natural balance. In order to defend themselves, and their farm animals, people, especially mountain dwellers, have taken protective measures, such as wooden palisades. Another defense was breeding sheep dogs, able to keep at bay wolves, and even bears. Out of necessity, Romanians have created four breeds of such dogs. Their main purpose was to keep in check the natural fauna. They kept dangerous wild animals away from households and sheepfolds, so that people didn't have to eradicate them. It was an attempt for man to live alongside wild fauna, by ancient methods. Nowadays it is still used in this complex economic and social context, in order to preserve the natural riches of the Carpathian Mountains. The Conservation Carpathia environmental foundation has a program that provides puppies of the Romanian Carpathian Sheep Dog breed to shepherds in the Fagaras Mountains area. The are raised at the Cobor Biodiversity Farm.
