On the 3rd of November we celebrate the International Day of Biosphere Reserves
03 Novemver 2023
The 3rd of November has been designated as the International Day of Biosphere Reserves in 2021 by a Decision of the UNESCO General Conference. Central Balkan, Chervenata stena, Srebarna and Uzunbujak are the four Bulgarian biosphere reserves announced in 2017 under UNESCO's "Man and the Biosphere" Programme. Their nomination a year earlier was supported by both the local communities and the responsible institutions.
Biosphere reserves are territories symbolizing the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. Their aim is to stimulate sustainable economic development of the respective regions, based on clean and preserved nature and the production and supply of certified local products. They are a unifying platform that ensures the participation of all interested parties in the management and decision-making of the respective territory.
In modern biosphere reserves, in addition to areas for strict protection, "buffer" areas are also distinguished, as well as "transitional" areas, in which the application of sustainable economic practices based on ecosystem services and the advantages of proximity to the protected area is encouraged.
UNESCO's initiative to celebrate Biosphere Reserves Day is an invitation and an opportunity for all to be inspired and learn from the solutions and good practices already implemented in these UNESCO sites as model areas for sustainable development.
The Ministry of Environment and Water celebrates today's International Day of Biosphere Reserves by providing photographs of the Bulgarian territories and emphasizing their potential to contribute to the attraction of tourists and the development of nature-friendly tourism.
The short presentations for each of the four Bulgarian biosphere reserves have been produced together with the National Committee for the "Man and the Biosphere" Programme and the regional divisions of the Ministry of Environment and Water, which are involved in the management of the respective territories – the Central Balkan National Park Directorate and the regional environmental and water inspections in Plovdiv, Ruse and Burgas.
Natural and cultural sites are presented, incl. intangible heritage – characteristic crafts, traditions and customs that increase the attractiveness of the respective regions and contribute to the development of sustainable tourism.
