Bulgaria is among the 27 finalists out of 79 entrants from the EU and the UK admitted for participation in the European Natura 2000 awards for excellence in the management of Natura 2000 sites and conservation achievements.
Bulgaria is taking part in the “Reconciling Interests/Perceptions” category with its initiative for the preservation of old-growth forests. With it the country sets an example of how the efforts of the public sector and NGOs can be combined in the name of nature. Bulgaria has designated 109,000 hectares of forest areas as old-growth forests and is applying special regimes there to help maintain the separate elements of the ecosystems.
