For the first time in Bulgaria, the Greater Flamingo nested in Lake Atanasovsko near Burgas, the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds (BSPB) and the Bulgarian Biodiversity Foundation (BBF) announced.
From May 12 to 14, the new themed weekend in Burgas is coming - "Green and Sporty", in which we - the Bulgarian Biodiversity Foundation - are also actively involved.
A BBF expert participated as a speaker in the educational conference "School for the Future" in Burgas on 25 March 2023.
A team of the project "Lagoon of Life" participated in an international seminar "The present and future of salt pans", organized in the framework of the LIFE Sallina project (Sustainable Actions on Loire Lagoons for Improvement Assessment) from 7 to 9 March 2023 at the convention centre of the city of La Baule on the Atlantic coast. The project is managed by the regional structure, CAP Atlantique, which covers 15 municipalities in the region.
Human activity associated with the formation of small salt fields on the French Atlantic coast has contributed to the maintenance of many habitats and protected species of birds and plants. This is the case of the salt marshes in the Loire estuary region, also known as the Land of Salt, which has nearly 16 000 hectares of salt marshes.
Today is World Wetlands Day, the day the Ramsar Convention was signed to protect wetlands. They are fragile ecosystems that can easily be affected by human activities, such as drainage, development or the clearing of coastal forests, the construction of hydropower plants on rivers, etc.
On the old-style Atanasov Day - January 31, 2023, will be the much-awaited premiere of the film "Salty People". Unexpectedly for everyone it will be in Sofia, not in Burgas.
