This November the Green Balkans team visited the ‘Esetra’ students club at the University of Plovdiv Faculty of biology for the second time.
We were invited by the students at the club to talk about the Black sea cetaceans. Our colleague, Polina Hristova, told them about the Green Balkans marine mammals research activities for the last two years. The ‘From Durankulak to Rezovo - dolphins’ future in our country’ presentation took place on the 6th of November afternoon, all guests received information brochures on cetaceans in Bulgaria.
Two weeks later, on the 20th of November, we visited the Faculty of biology once again. This time Aneliya Pavlova told our guests about the different methods for bat research and bat researchers in Bulgaria. All participants learned about the latest scientific publications in the field and got information brochures.
We would like to thank the ‘Esetra’ students club at the Faculty of Biology, University of Plovdiv for inviting us! We had a great time!

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.
Cetaceans
There are 3 species of cetaceans in the Black Sea - Bottlenose Dolphin, Short-beaked Common Dolphin and Harbour Porpoise, endemic to our sea. Persecuted in the past, not much is known today about the state of the populations of the three species. The Bottlenose Dolphin and the Harbour Porpoise are subject to protection by the Natura 2000 ecological network and special marine protected areas are declared for their protection.
