Bulgaria is one of the most biodiversity-rich countries in Europe. Preserved nature and restored biodiversity: the Bulgarian and European dimension of this big topic will be discussed at the National Press Club of BTA in Ruse at the next discussion within the initiative of the Bulgarian Voices for Europe Agency. The discussion is expected to open MEP Petar Vitanov, Mayor of Ruse Municipality Pencho Milkov, District Governor Anatoly Stanev and BTA Director General Kiril Valchev. The discussion will address a wide range of topics such as: European policies in the protection of the environment and biodiversity. The challenges in their implementation and the unification of the mechanisms and management of nature conservation in all member states. The role of the state, municipalities, business and non-governmental sector in environmental protection. The purity of the air. Conservation of nature in the cross-border region of Bulgaria-Romania: the Danube, a uniter, not a dividing border. Conservation of nature parks and protected wetlands. Successful examples — projects for the conservation and restoration of biodiversity. The link “clean environment — business — tourism”. To participate in the discussion, we invite representatives of state and local authorities, mayors, experts from the Regional Inspectorate of Environment and Water in Ruse, the Institute of Fisheries Resources, participants in the civic panel “Climate Change, Environment and Health” — part of the Conference on the Future of Europe, environmental project managers, eco-activists and citizens, committed to environmental protection, lecturers, students, etc. The event will broadcast directly on the social networks of BTA Facebook and YouTube. BTA’s initiative “Bulgarian Voices for Europe” is implemented with the support of the European Parliament.
