  • Some Issues Related to the Recreational Use of Bulgarian Sites of Ornithological Importance and Their Potential for Development of Ecotourism
    TURIZAM Volume 14, Issue 2 87-98 (2010) Some Issues Related to the Recreational Use of Bulgarian Sites of Ornithological Importance and Their Potential for Development of Ecotourism Georgi Leonidov Georgiev* Received: March 2010 | Accepted: June 2010 Abstract This paper analyses the Bulgarian avifauna. It tracks the development of the idea and creation of the concept for important bird areas (IBAs) as well as their role as a resource for development of Bulgari- an ecotourism. A special emphasis is laid upon the fact that Bulgarian territory accounts for only 1.06% of the Euro- pean continent. At the very same time, 382 bird species have been reported within its boundaries, or 74 % of the bird species, recorded on the continent. In absolute numbers, the total number of birds in Europe comes to 514 species and another 12, not included in the European list. Having in mid that 5.1 % of the world’s bird species can be found on the Old continent, their share in Bulgaria is 3.8 %, which makes Bulgaria, extremely important for bird protection in Europe and on the planet. The conducted analyses reveal that 142 bird species (36%) of the Bulgarian ornithofauna have unfavourable conserva- tion status and 21 of them are world-endangered species. The most important regions featuring -high est bird concentration are indicated in this analysis. Attention is paid to the fact that two major- migra tory routes pass along the country – Via Pontica and Via Aristotelis. Under observation are the Bulgarian important bird areas, representing one of the most significant -plac es for bird protection.

Th e phytoplankton community structure and species diversity were studied in comparison with the physical and chemical conditions in three temporary wetlands on Belene Island (the Danube River, Bulgaria) in June 1997, June 1998 and April 2000. A total of 185 taxa were found, including 81 Chlorophyta, 27 Cyanoprokaryota, 25 Bacillariophyta, 24 Euglenophyta, 16 Xanthophyta, 6 Pyrrhophyta, 4 Cryptophyta, and 2 Chrysophyta. Flagellates, mainly from Chlorophyta, Cryptophyta and Euglenophyta, constituted a signifi cant part of the phytoplankton biomass. Th e studied wetlands were compared with other basins near the Danube River. Th e species diversity of phytoplankton (according to Shannon & Weaver, 1949) showed very high values. Key words: fl agellates, phytoplankton, species diversity, temporary wetlands Introduction tensities, variation in environmental factors (short- term instability and long term unpredictability), and Th e group of temporary wetlands includes an enor- astatic levels. mous variety of diff erent water bodies worldwide, Knowledge of the structure and functioning of the each with its own specifi c features.
