On February 18 2010 the Municipality Council of the town of Sliven approved a proposal by the Mayor of the town to open a procedure under Article 54 of the State Property Act for a free transfer to Sliven Municipality of the ownership on a real estate - state property. Under “real estate - state property” Sliven Municipality means the public state property on the territory of the Sinite Kamani Nature Park. It covers over 90% of the whole surface of the Nature Park amounting to 11 thousand hectares. The municipal councilors have assigned to the Mayor of Sliven Municipality to send a request to the Council of Ministers through the Sliven District Governor for the free transfer of the “property”.]]> http://en.forthenature.org/news/1378 http://en.forthenature.org/news/1378 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:55:19 +0200 News Sofia, 26 February 2010 – On the occasion of the statements of the mayor of Sliven Municipality Yordan Lechkov and Sliven District Governor Marin Kavrukov that the Municipality wants the state to transfer to it for free the full state ownership in Sinite Kamani Nature Park in order to maintain the roads and to build up sewerage, the Let Nature Remain in Bulgaria Coalition of non-government organizations and citizen groups is obliged to specify:

- Sinite Kamani Nature Park is not a city garden but a protected nature area under the Bulgarian and European legislation.

- In order to maintain the roads and build up sewerage the state does not need to transfer its ownership onto the municipality.]]> http://en.forthenature.org/news/1380 http://en.forthenature.org/news/1380 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 22:12:20 +0200 News To the attention of:

The little bat was sent to the Center from the town of Razgrad by concerned citizens who had found it in the town.

This event is interesting as the Kuhl's pipistrelle is a comparatively rare species for the country. It is a southern species which is warmth-and-dryness-loving, inhabits mostly populated places and until recently it has been considered that the species can be found only in Southern Bulgaria. Data from the last years show that it is not so rare for our country anymore but there is lack of sufficient data for its distribution. ]]> http://en.forthenature.org/news/1342 http://en.forthenature.org/news/1342 Thu, 11 Feb 2010 09:39:23 +0200 News Sofia, 10 February 2010 – The “Let Nature Remain in Bulgaria” Coalition of 30 non-governmental organizations and citizen groups expects the Consultative Council on National Security to take into account its proposal on the forest swaps and state aid accorded by the former government to certain companies and individuals.
