Project sites are chosen based on their natural values, but also considering the general political framework, e.g. whether the site is already in national or international focus for protection. EuroNatur concentrates on those sites which have a high natural value, but have not yet been recognized as worthy of protection and therefore need an advocate to lobby and work for their protection. EuroNatur was involved in the elaboration of international single species action plans for Spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia), published in 2008 and Ferruginous Duck (Aythya nyroca), published in 2006 as well as in the development of the EU management plan for Red-crested Pochard (Netta rufina), published in 2007. From 2007 to 2010, EuroNatur, together with partners from Switzerland, Belgium and Italy conducted the ELBARN project aimed on preserving rare breeds by establishing a European Livestock and Breeds Ark and Rescue Net and preserving traditional ways of land use such as extensive grazing and transhumance pastoralism. For more information visit www.elbarn.net EuroNatur projects exemplary for the perpetuation of extensive grazing schemes are the actions in the Sava Floodplains in Croatia where free ranging Turopolje Pigs and Posavina Horses graze the floodplain meadows (http://www.euronatur.org/Sava.sava.0.html). Within the frame of the Senne project (Germany) EuroNatur works for the protection of heathland by supporting traditional land use forms including extensive grazing with Senne Horses (http://www.euronatur.org/Senne.sen Currently, EuroNatur within the frame of different projects, is dealing with grazing schemes and pastoralism in the Balkans with focus on the importance of pastures as habitats for endangered species.

Geography of Bulgaria The Republic of Bulgaria covers a territory of 110 993 square kilometres. The average altitude of the country is 470 metres above sea level. The Stara Planina Mountain occupies central position and serves as a natural dividing line from the west to the east. It is a 750 km long mountain range stretching from the Vrushka Chuka Pass to Cape Emine and is part of the Alpine-Himalayan mountain range. It reaches the Black Sea to the east and turns to the north along the Bulgarian-Yugoslavian border. A natural boundary with Romania is the Danube River, which is navigable all along for cargo and passenger vessels. The Black Sea is the natural eastern border of Bulgaria and its coastline is 378 km long. There are clearly cut bays, the biggest two being those of Varna and Bourgas. About 25% of the coastline are covered with sand and hosts our seaside resorts. The southern part of Bulgaria is mainly mountainous. The highest mountain is Rila with Mt.

Teofilova* Institute of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research (IBER), Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 1 Tsar Osvoboditel Blvd., 1000 Sofia, BULGARIA * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract. The invertebrate fauna of the “Balabana” and “Dolna Topchiya” managed nature reserves is studied, with particular consideration to the ground beetles. The area of study is interesting from a biological point of view, as the Tundzha River constitutes a corridor of penetration of southern and thermophilic elements. On the other hand, the specifics of the territory predetermine the presence of many typically forest and some mountain species, as well as a lot of inhabitants of open biotopes, in particular – steppe forms. During the study, altogether 2041 specimens of carabid beetles belonging to 88 species are captured, as well as 76 other invertebrate species, some of which are with a conservation significance – new, endemic, rare, protected or endangered. Forty-six carabid species are reported for the first time for the Sakar-Tundzha region. Ground beetles are characterized and classified according to their zoogeographical belonging and the life forms they refer to. Key words: Carabidae, invertebrates, “Balabana”, “Dolna Topchiya”, Tundzha River, Bulgaria.

  • Environmental Protection and Political Borders: NATURA 2000 in the Rhodope Mountains Çevre Koruma Ve Siyasi Sınırlar: Rodop Dağları'nda Natura 2000
    Ankara Üniversitesi Çevrebilimleri Dergisi 5(1), 49-60 (2013) Environmental Protection and Political Borders: NATURA 2000 in the Rhodope Mountains Çevre Koruma ve Siyasi Sınırlar: Rodop Dağları'nda Natura 2000 Assen ASSENOV Landscapes and Environmental Protection Department University of Sofia “St. Kliment Ohridsky”, Faculty of Geology and Geography Abstract: In the summer and autumn of 2011 two surveys of habitat types were conducted in "Dolna Mesta" BG 0000220 protected site. During the field studies, in addition to the description of habitat types, measurements of specific characteristics of landscape were carried out. They were followed by cameral work using Global Mapper Program when the final values were derived and summarized as morphometric characteristics of Perica Mountain. From the field studies along the boundary line immediate information about the nature of the relief in the upper part of the southern macro-slope and the conservation value of habitat diversity in this part of the mountain was obtained. Furthermore, a previous visit of the Greek part of the Bozdag Mountains (2009) provided immediate information on relief and habitat diversity at the foot of the Perica Mountain. The deficit of field studies in Greece was compensated by using the Google Earth Program. The current study aims to determine the conservation significance of the Bulgarian part of Perica Mountain, part of "Dolna Mesta" protected site and compare it with the southern macro-slope of the same mountain, located in Greece. Comparison of conservation value between the two macro-slopes of the mountain is particularly important because the ridge follows the border between two countries of the European Union.

They are limit from North Thracian morphostructural zone to the North, the East Thracian morphostructural zone to the South and the Rhodopean morphostructural zone to the West. The observed mountain territory builds the Sakar-Strandzha morphostructural zone. It is divided by Sakar Dervent and Strandzha morphostructural areas. Every of them include morphostructural regions. They are composed by numerous Late Pleistocene-Holocene dome-like morphostructures. The relics from the Post Early Pleistocene concentric morphostructures are distributed in the entire zone. They were determined some archer and concentric Holocene mountain morphostructures. The regional seismic activity (during the last 50 years) outlines three parts of the Sakar-Strandzha morphostructural zone. The western one – the Sakar part is moderate seismic active. The central – Dervent part is practically seismic „calm”. The eastern one– Strandzha part show a very intensive seismicity. It can by given right in a future (after the necessary investigations) to divide the zone in three areas.
