Bulgaria is home to Europe’s greatest remaining natural treasures, a belt of wilderness in the Carpathian mountains known as the Green Heart of Europe. Bulgaria is the proud custodian of this primal region which is covered in thick forests and intact wetlands. Outside of this area, the natural habitat is fragmented and in need of restoration.
