Milen Penerliev 1 Alternative tourism is a form of tourism which represents an alternative to the conventional mass tourism. Its forms are small-scale, low-density, divided into forms practiced in urban (religious, cultural, business) and rural areas. Alternative tourism is an attempt to preserve, protect and improve the quality of the existing resource base, which is fundamental for tourism itself. Alternative tourism is featured by active encouragement and care for the development of additional andspecific attractions as well the infrastructure, which are based on the local resources, while at the same time aiding the latter. It has an impact on the quality of life in the region, improves the infrastructure and increases the educational and cultural level of the local community.

Nature Conservation 35: 63–95. https://doi. org/10.3897/natureconservation.35.30911 Abstract The European ground squirrel (Spermophilus citellus) is a vulnerable species (IUCN) living in open habi- tats of Central and South-eastern Europe. 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.

  • The Slugs of Bulgaria (Arionidae, Milacidae, Agriolimacidae
    POLSKA AKADEMIA NAUK INSTYTUT ZOOLOGII ANNALES ZOOLOGICI Tom 37 Warszawa, 20 X 1983 Nr 3 A n d rzej W ik t o r The slugs of Bulgaria (A rionidae , M ilacidae, Limacidae, Agriolimacidae — G astropoda , Stylommatophora) [With 118 text-figures and 31 maps] Abstract. All previously known Bulgarian slugs from the Arionidae, Milacidae, Limacidae and Agriolimacidae families have been discussed in this paper. It is based on many years of individual field research, examination of all accessible private and museum collections as well as on critical analysis of the published data. The taxa from families to species are sup­ plied with synonymy, descriptions of external morphology, anatomy, bionomics, distribution and all records from Bulgaria. It also includes the original key to all species. The illustrative material comprises 118 drawings, including 116 made by the author, and maps of localities on UTM grid. The occurrence of 37 slug species was ascertained, including 1 species (Tandonia pirinia- na) which is quite new for scientists. The occurrence of other 4 species known from publications could not bo established. Basing on the variety of slug fauna two zoogeographical limits were indicated. One separating the Stara Pianina Mountains from south-western massifs (Pirin, Rila, Rodopi, Vitosha. Mountains), the other running across the range of Stara Pianina in the^area of Shipka pass. INTRODUCTION Like other Balkan countries, Bulgaria is an area of Palearctic especially interesting in respect to malacofauna. So far little investigation has been carried out on molluscs of that country and very few papers on slugs (mostly contributions) were published. The papers by B a b o r (1898) and J u r in ić (1906) are the oldest ones.

  • Assessment of Contamination with Opportunistic Pathogenic Bacteria from Family Enterobacteriaceae in Sediments of Iskar River
    Supplement 1 Ecological Engineering and Environment Protection, IX, 2017, p. 47-55 ASSESSMENT OF CONTAMINATION WITH OPPORTUNISTIC PATHOGENIC BACTERIA FROM FAMILY ENTEROBACTERIACEAE IN SEDIMENTS OF ISKAR RIVER Ivaylo Yotinov, Yovana Todorova, Lyubomir Kenderov, Yana Topalova Abstract: Fecal pollution from municipal wastewater discharges is an extremely serious problem for aquatic ecosystems. This type of pollution is also found in the waters and sediments of the Iskar River in its upper and middle valley. From a microbiological point of view, an indicator of such contamination is the presence of high amounts of opportunistic pathogenic microorganisms of the family Enterobacteriaceae. An important feature is that, except in the waters where they are normally found, large amounts of these bacteria can also accumulate in sediments. The purpose of this study is to compare the contamination with opportunistic pathogenic bacteria from the Enterobacteriaceae in sediments from the upper and middle part of the Iskar River. In addition, a comparison of the quantity of entero-bacteria with the ecological state indicators was made by Regulation N-4 of 14.09.2012 on characterization of surface water. From the results of this study, the higher amounts of entero-bacteria were found in the sediments from the middle part of the Iskar River. This is largely related to the strongly negative effect of the urbanized area of Sofia as well as the lack of functioning wastewater treatment plants in the middle of the Iskar River. The results for entero- bacteria from the Upper Iskar subcatchment, also demonstrated a significant contamination with fecal character. As a probable reason for this can be the discharge of Samokov WWTP as well as the unregulated point sources of pollution in this region.

For every individual species, that is extant in every reported cave and gallery, as well as the authors who have made the report, is included. New data, most recently gathered are re­ ported as well. Several species are new for the cave fauna of Bulgaria, some others are all together new to the caves. One species is new for the Bulgarian fauna. The number of the established up until now Lepidoptera species in the caves and galleries in Bulgaria is 32. Introduction For a considerable length of time the Bulgarian cave fauna has been of interest to many researchers, both Bulgarians and foreign. Although considerable data concerning the fauna of Lepidoptera of the caves and galleries in Bulgaria exists, having been published in nu­ merous articles, up until now only one study (Skalski , 1972) concerns the Lepidoptera cave fauna.

  • State of the Environment, Providing an Overview of the State of Air, Water and Soil Across the Region
    A Study of Environmental Conflicts and Issues in South-Eastern Europe: Possible Collaboration between CSOs and Ecological Economists A report for the CEECEC project Authors: Biljana Macura, Dragana Bojovic, Miroslav Tadić, Nada Ćosić, Ivana Petrić, Ivan Jarić Jelena Kneževi, Hali Healy, Leah Temper, and Joan Martinez-Alier June 2009 Executive Summary This report, funded by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework (FP7) Science in Society programme, creates a unique environmental snapshot of South Eastern Europe (SEE), based on an overview of recent international and national research and structured around current concerns of civil society organisations (CSOs) working on environmental conflicts in the region. This ‘snapshot‘ goes on to provide the foundation for a discussion of possible opportunities for collaboration between ecological economists and CSOs in SEE. As the objective of the CEECEC project (www.ceecec.net) is learning and teaching Ecological Economics with and for CSOs, this report aims to provide a resource for ecological economists in the South Eastern European (SEE) region and to examine ecological economics applications that might benefit research and campaign work of environmental CSOs in the region. Following the introduction, Part 2 prepares the ground by depicting the regional and individual national contexts within which CSOs are carrying out their work on environmental conflicts. This includes a brief profiling of the geographies, demographies and economies of the 6 countries that are the focus of the report: Albania, Bosnia and Herzogovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of (FYR) Macedonia and Serbia. This profiling is followed by a summary of international and national research on the state of the environment, providing an overview of the state of air, water and soil across the region.
