On Monday (March 19) we are about to witness yet another deriding attempt of the authorities to disgrace the nature of Bulgaria.

Photograph the national treasures!

02.03.2007

Let all of us who are going outdoors – to the mountains, the seaside or in the country - take a picture of ourselves and our friends holding a hand-made poster FOR THE NATURE (saying “So that there’s nature left in Bulgaria”, “Natura 2000 in full range 33%”, “Moratorium on construction in endangered areas”, “For our children to be healthy, leave nature alone!”, “Nature – people’s most precious capital”… or whatever motto or picture springs from you heart.) The main point is to express your feelings for nature and have your face and message come across!

Bulgaria – a Step-Mother to Her Children

26.02.2007

On February 26th the SUniversity Club for Ecology and Sustainable Development UNECO will initiate a campaign to express the students’ discontent with the small territory range of NATURA 2000 approved by the Councils of Ministers for Bulgaria. The students will set up a camp of tents and signs saying “Bulgaria – a Step Mother to Her Children” on the campus of Sofia University St. Climent Ohridski. This action is a part of a long-term campaign to inform the public and the educational institutions on the matter of NATURA 2000, as well as to help the preservation of national natural treasure and the health of future generations. UNECO alarms that our country will inevitably suffer sanctions in the form of the blocked structure funds, as for example Poland does now. The citizens of Bulgaria will have to pay for the devastation of our nature from their own pockets, while the ones who will suffer most will be the youth, the children of Bulgaria - another reason for them to want to leave their home country.

On Saturday we went out in our pajamas. But it looks like we won’t sleep… If the investors act in the dark, so will we. This is why BG Outdoor and friends invite all who are willing (and correspondingly prepared and equipped) to a night hike in Vitosha on 24.02 in support of the demand that the government adopt the full list of proposed endangered territories in NATURA 2000.

A pajama walk of the natural lunatics!

The Union of the Natural Lunatics has cordially invited us to take a walk together on 17.02.2007, Saturday, from 15.30 h in front NDK – and in other cities of our choice. This is a spontaneous reaction of the citizens of Bulgaria to the decision of the Council of Ministers to exclude all that is dear in our motherland from NATURA 2000. We think we might drop in.
