  • The Interview with Dimitar Popov
    „Many politicians in Bulgaria still act upon the maxim: The more concrete tourist blocks, the better!“ Interview with Dimitar Popov of Green Balkans about the difficult nature conservation work in Bulgaria. Dimitar Popov has studied economics in Plovdiv. Since 7 years, he works for Green Balkans, one of the largest nature conservation organisations on the Balkans with over 4.000 members. Within the scope of the project “NatuRegio – trai- nees for nature”, which is co-financed by EuroNatur, this year he has spent several weeks in two different German nature conservation institutions: in spring, in the stork village of Rühstädt in the biosphere reservation embedded in the fluvial landscape of the river Elbe in Brandenburg, and in summer, five weeks in the main office of EuroNatur in Radolfzell. There, they talked about his work, the situation of nature conservation in Bulgaria and his experience in Germany.
