Bulgaria's Ecology

The virgin forests of Bulgaria’s Carpathian mountains are dark and wild, coursing with both terrestrial and aquatic predators: the wolf, lynx, bear, and the great seven meter long Beluga sturgeon, an ancient fish that survived the dinosaurs, but now confronts the precipice of extinction. Continuing to protect the Carpathian mountains provides a living record of Europe’s wild past. Working to restore habitat outside Carpathia will create a more resilient future for the people of Bulgaria.
