Translocations (introductions, reintroductions and reinforce- ments) are commonly used as part of the European ground squirrel (EGS) conservation. There are numer- ous publications for such activities carried out in Central Europe, but data from South-eastern Europe, where translocations have also been implemented, are still scarce. The present study summarises the methodologies used in the translocations in Bulgaria and analyses the factors impacting their success. Eight translocations of more than 1730 individuals were performed in the period 2010 to 2018.

  • Bulgarian Biodiversity Foundation Annual Report for 2014
    Bulgarian Biodiversity Foundation Annual report for 2014 BULGARIAN BIODIVERSITY FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2014 Sofia – Burgas, March 2015 1 Bulgarian Biodiversity Foundation Annual report for 2014 I. CONTEXT FOR BBF WORK 2014 is defined by the economists as another lost year, when the economy started to improve, but politicians made it worse again. 2014 was extremely negative for Bulgaria - the year of political instability, suspended reforms, badly managed budget, deficit spending and bank crisis. And at the end of this critical year our loan rating was reduced to levels, we have not had even during the most severe recession in 2009- 2010. Many things have been known after the end of this year, but few lessons learned. For BBF 2014 started violently in defence of our favourite Strandja. A decision of the SAC and Ministry of Regional Development put on the agenda again one forgotten over the years problem – constructions in park areas. Protests against the adoption of the Master Plan of Tsarevo municipality were organised all over the country. We were very active and lead the protests in Sofia and Burgas. The issue about Strandja National Park Management Plan and our participation in it was again raised, this time even in Parliament and personally by the Minister of Environment and Water. We continued working on it, especially with Malko Tarnovo Municipality. At the same time Stefan Zlatarov, a Strandja NP Director of long standing, was forced to resign and his successor became Petko Nanchev. After the change the Directorate started slowly, but surely to regress. Maya Radeva, Balgarka NP manager, was controversially sacked, and an owner of a logging company was hired.

  • Heavy Metals and Arsenic in Soils from Grasslands in Bulgarka Nature Park D
    73 Bulgarian Journal of Agricultural Science, 20 (No 1) 2014, 73-78 Agricultural Academy HEAVY METALS AND ARSENIC IN SOILS FROM GRASSLANDS IN BULGARKA NATURE PARK D. KARATOTEVA, E. TSVETKOVA and D. BEZLOVA University of Forestry, BG – 1714 Sofia, Bulgaria Abstract KARATOTEVA, D., E. TSVETKOVA and D. BEZLOVA, 2014. Heavy metals and arsenic in soils from grasslands in Bulgarka Nature Park. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 20: 73-78 In a recent study, we detected elevated content of heavy metals in medicinal plants and pasture grasses of Bulgarka Nature Park. In the present work, we have investigated the content of lead (Pb), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg) in the soils of these grasslands. The highest concentrations were found in soils from the grassland in Malusha site. The mean value for Pb content was very high (183±141 mg.kg-1DW), while the value for As content was 78±18 mg.kg-1DW. Both elements ex- ceeded the maximum permitted level for grasslands. The maximum concentrations of Pb and As (497 mg.kg-1DW and 112 mg.kg-1DW, respectively) were detected only in the eastern part of the grassland of Malusha site. Thus, it is recommended to perform soil mapping and limit grazing within definite parts of the site. A source of risk to the environment could be consid- ered the enhanced soil levels of As in the grasslands of Ispolin Peak site (17-74 mg.kg-1 DW), the village Ezeroto (107 mg.kg- 1DW) and the grasslands near Gabrovo hut (43 mg.kg-1 DW). Key words: grassland, protected areas, maximum permitted level, risk assessment Abbreviations: nature park (NP), maximum permitted level (MPL) Introduction and part of the Central Balkan National Park (Malinova, 1997; Bezlova et al., 2001) have shown elevated content of The content of total forms of heavy metals in soils of for- As in the litter (up to 230 mg.kg-1) whereas total As content est lands in Bulgaria have been a subject of survey within the was up to 65 mg.kg-1, 80 µg.kg-1 of which being in a mobile network for large-scale and intensive monitoring.

Medicinal plants collected from grassland landscapes in Bulgarka Nature Park were analyzed for lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As) and mercury (Hg) content. Contamination with Pb, Cd and As was found, Pb being the main contaminant. Urtica dioica, Mentha pulegium, Geranium macrorrhizum, Viola tricolor, Fragaria vesca, Primula veris and Plantago major were the plant species that accumulated Pb in concentrations more than 5 times the regulation limits. Cd was accumulated to a lesser extent compared with Pb. The exceedances were 1.5 to 3.1 times the limit and concerned Rubus idaeus (leaves), Viola dacica and Viola tricolor . Plants that accumulated As were Primula veris and Thymus sp. with maximum measured content exceeding 1.6 times the limit. The average Hg content in most of the analyzed plant samples varied within the range of 0.006-0.020 mg kg -1 FW, with the exception of Primula veris (0.035 mg kg -1 FW) and Carum carvi and Geranium phaeum (0.028 mg kg -1 FW). Key words: arsenic; cadmium; lead; mercury; medicinal plants; nature park.
