Nature only on paper - New rubric in my blog

Posted by Rossen


European ecological network Natura 2000 should protect key sites for conservation of rare habitats and habitats of species. One of the Bulgarian Natura 2000 sites for habitat protection of the Corncrake and the White Stork is Boboshevo Meadows IBA, but it appears so only on paper.

Within her falls gneiss quarry due to inaction of "experts" from the Ministry of Environment and Water and its regional structures in Blagoevgrad, who believe that it is a little part that will not affect the overall protection of the area. The place chosen as a concession includes a wet riparian meadow, which at high water regularly is flooded by Struma river and rocky slopes located in Kocherinovo gorge. Paradoxically, this is one of the few wet meadows in the protected area, while much of it includes rocky slopes, dry river valleys, farmlands and pseudo-steppes

This is a case, which shows how Natura 2000 sites is protected in Bulgaria.
