The Green Balkans team and the Wildlife Rescue Centre joined the “On the Street 2: Rediscovery” – artistic and architectural event in Stara Zagora on 12 September.
The Тawny Оwl Chara and the Common Kestrel Vladko, birds from the Rescue Centre with permanent disabilities which we take care of, part of the Green Balkans educational programme were our ambassadors at the event.
The visitors had the opportunity to learn more about them and other protected bird species such as: the Griffon and Bearded Vulture, the Saker Falcon, the Red-breasted Goose and other bird species for whose return Green Balkans has been working for years.
There was also a summer broadcast of a film by two Stara Zagora citizens – Petar Doychev and Gordan Koev that was presented for the first time in the city and was dedicated to the Nkola Vaptsarov poem “A Song of Man”. The film screening was organized by the International Youth Centre.
We would like to express our gratitude to the organizers. It was a pleasure for us to be part of the “rediscovery” of this famous place with “penguins” for the citizens of Stara Zagora.

Natura 2000
Natura 2000 is the largest coordinated network for nature conservation. More than 30% of the territory of Bulgaria falls within the scope of the network - 120 areas for the protection of wild birds and 234 areas for the protection of natural habitats.
Red-breasted Goose
The Red-breasted Goose is a globally endangered species, protected within the Natura 2000 ecological network. Bulgaria is an important country for the protection of the species - almost the entire world population spends the winter in the region of Primorska Dobrudzha.
Bearded Vulture
The Bearded Vulture - protected within the Natura 2000 ecological network. A symbol of Bulgarian nature protection, sadly extinct from the Bulgarian fauna since the 1960s. Its former habitats are protected within the Natura 2000 network.
Saker Falcon
The Saker Falcon is a globally endangered species listed as critically endangered in Bulgaria. Although it was widespread in the past, in 2018 the first active nest of the species for the last 10 years was reported. The species and its habitats are subject to protection by the Natura 2000 ecological network.
Griffon Vulture
Widespread and numerous in the past, at the end of the last century the Griffon Vulture had only 1-2 active nests restricted to the Eastern Rhodopes. Thanks to the efforts of conservation organizations, today the population of the species is growing and we can see it in the Balkan Mountains, Eastern Rhodopes and Kresna.
