Its populations became increasingly fragmented and are facing serious declines across most of its range throughout last decades. Only a coordinated conservation effort at the European level may sustain the species viability. With this respect this European Species Action Plan has been prepared with the support of the European Commission. The aim of this action plan is to support the development of national or local action plans and conservation measures as appropriate1. The purposes of this action plan are as follows: To provide up-to date baseline information about species ecology, status and threats To provide scientifically-based recommendations to those who can promote and support species conservation To establish priorities in species conservation To provide a common framework and focus for a wide range of stakeholders The information and solutions presented within this action plan have been prepared in consultation with a group of species experts from majority of the countries in the European Ground Squirrel’s distribution range, as well as through a review of available literature. The proposed action plan therefore represents the best available up-to-date collective knowledge on the species. Within the frame of this action plan, an expert workshop has taken place during the IV. European Ground Squirrel Meeting in Poland 2012, where the analysis of information on the species, including threats and possible conservation priorities were discussed with the experts in order to define a conservation strategy and identify the most important actions. Summary The European Ground Squirrel, Spermophilus citellus is a ground dwelling rodent associated with open non-forest steppe grassland habitats including the ‘cultural’ steppe of nowadays - the short- stalked grasslands on field airports, golf courses, playgrounds etc. The distribution range of S. citellus consists of two distinct parts divided by Carpathian Mountains. The western part extends from southern Poland, through Czech Republic, east of Austria, through Slovakia and Hungary into Pannonian part of Serbia and Croatia. The eastern part of the range includes Transcarpathian region of Ukraine, Romania, part of Moldova, Bulgaria, south-east of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), north-east of Greece and European part of Turkey. According to the 2008 IUCN Red List vers. 3.1, the species is considered Vulnerable, with a decreasing population trend. In 2007 reporting to the Habitats Directive 92/43/EC the species has been evaluated in unfavourable-bad status for Alpine and Continental biogeographical regions and in unfavourable-inadequate status for Mediterranean and Pannonic regions. International group of experts on research and conservation of S. citellus declared in 2006 that the species is threatened over most of its range, so coordinated conservation effort is needed for its survival. Dominant part of distribution area of S. citellus belongs to the European Union, so concerned member states have high responsibility for the survival of the world’s population of S. citellus. The most serious threats to the species reported include habitat loss and fragmentation especially in connection with land use changes which in synergy with adverse natural factors such as long winters, floods etc. increase mortality in the populations of this obligatory hibernant and in small isolated populations quickly leed to extinction. The overall goal of this action plan is to improve conservation status of Spermophilus citellus to a favourable level within the European Union. The objectives include stopping the decline in S. citellus populations by ensuring necessary management of habitats at existing localities, restoring metapopulations by adding new/restored habitats, creating corridors and stepping stones, supporting 1 The EU Species Action Plans are not of a binding nature; species action plans are drafted and implemented at the discretion of Member States. EU Species Action Plan – Spermophilus citellus – second draft 4 populations by repatriation of animals. It is also necessary to fill in the identified gaps in knowledge and to support the species conservation by public awareness activities. In order to achieve these objectives, a list of recommended actions has been prepared taking into account the specific situation and threats in each country. The actions are divided into six categories: habitat management and land use, species

Holroyd. 2012. An extra-limital population of Black-tailed Prairie Dogs, Cynomys ludovicianus, in central Alberta. Canadian Field-Naturalist 126(1): 4 6–49. An introduced population of Black-tailed Prairie Dogs, Cynomys ludovicianus, has persisted for the past 50 years east of Edmonton, Alberta, over 600 km northwest of the natural prairie range of the species. This colony has slowly expanded at this northern latitude within a transition ecotone between the Boreal Plains ecozone and the Prairies ecozone. Although this colony is derived from escaped animals, it is worth documenting, as it represents a significant disjunct range extension for the species and it is separated from the sylvatic plague ( Yersina pestis ) that threatens southern populations. The unique northern location of these Black-tailed Prairie Dogs makes them valuable for the study of adaptability and geographic variation, with implications for climate change impacts on the species, which is threatened in Canada. Key Words: Black-tailed Prairie Dog, Cynomys ludovicianus, extra-limital occurrence, Alberta.

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.

  • Social Values of Antiquities in Bulgaria: Anthropological Perspectives
    Center for Open Access in Science ▪ https://www.centerprode.com/ojas.html Open Journal for Anthropological Studies, 2018, 2(1), 1-12. ISSN (Online) 2560-5348 ▪ https://doi.org/10.32591/coas.ojas.0201.01001l _________________________________________________________________________ Social Values of Antiquities in Bulgaria: Anthropological Perspectives Tsvete Petrova Lazova New Bulgarian University, Department of Anthropology Received 30 March 2018 ▪ Revised 29 June 2018 ▪ Accepted 18 July 2018 Abstract This article analyses some aspects of the processes constructing values of the remote past and their role in the formation of national identity. The useful debate on “identity” provides a space to look at it not only as an analytical category but also as a practical one. As a category of practice it is concerned to be used by “lay” actors in some everyday settings to make sense of themselves and how they differ from others (Brubaker & Cooper, 2000). I focus therefore on antiquities – material and non-material artifacts – which play active role in everyday life as identity marker. They are seen as anthropological terrain where the “eye of anthropology” makes possible to evaluate the nature of discourses on antiquities as cultural products in the context of the imagined nation. This supposes to look not only at the rhetoric of the national(ist) discourse but also at its content. In a “longue durée” perspective it becomes possible to be traced the uses of antiquities in Bulgaria with its complexities and beyond the dynamics of transformations within the academic fields and their research agenda. This perspective is useful as it introduces the needed sensitivity to different intensities of nationalism across time and space as well as within the same space (Todorova, 2015).
