Yesterday we visited the First progressive school in Sofia where the afternoon was dedicated to..dolphins. The Natura 2000 in Bulgaria - New Horizons team told the second graders about the Black sea cetaceans - how many are there and where can we see them, how we can help them and all sea creatures. They took part in a sea 'expedition' and shared their ideas on how we can protect our oceans.
Our team gave everyone a ‘Our friends the dolphins’ and ‘The adventures of Meriyem and Fanny the Dolphin’ booklets as well as other information materials.
Cetaceans are well known and loved by everyone. Green Balkans’ efforts for studying and protecting these interesting creatures date back to 2005 and continue to this day.
We would like to thank the First Progressive School management as well as the children’s parents for the donation they made.

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.
