Ancient beech forests in the reserves of the Central Balkan National Park can get worldwide recognition after Bulgaria was invited to join the initiative of UNESCO called "beech forests - a common heritage of Europe". It covers beech massifs in the Carpathians, in Slovakia and Ukraine, and old beech forests in Germany.
