Bulgarian Biodiversity Foundation

BBF brings together people with different perceptions for the preservation of Bulgarian nature. Underlying everything we do is a belief that natural resources preservation is only possible through public awareness. We strive to increase recognition of the opportunities and benefits of protected areas and work for their long-term protection.

strive for enhancement of the protected areas network in Bulgaria

support wider involvement for management of the protected areas

promote integration of biodiversity concerns into economic sectors

involve local people in practical activities for nature conservation

support pro-biodiversity businesses

work for the enhancement of the environmental legislation

create models for education in conservation biology

foster national campaigns for an appreciation of Bulgarian nature

promote biodiversity in its social, ethical, cultural and economic dimensions

maintain the Bulgarian Biodiversity Clearing House Mechanism in partnership with the Ministry of Environment and Water

develop management plans for protected areas, action plans for priority species, regional and municipal plans for development

BBF will continue to:

integrate biodiversity considerations into economic sectors by applying the best practices

support the establishment of the Bulgarian Natura 2000 network and encourage public participation

revive the operation of the biosphere reserves of the UNESCO Man and Biosphere Programme in Bulgaria

encourage the establishment and the management of protected areas across native borders
