GLOBUL, the Bulgarian mobile phone operator, is providing core support for this year’s National Parks Day, which WWF-DCP/Bulgaria is organizing on May 23 in cooperation with the Bulgarian Association of Nature Parks.
Thousands of volunteers are expected to descend on the country’s 11 nature parks to collect litter and repair visitor infrastructure.
The parks include many of Bulgaria’s most popular tourist destinations as well as outstanding natural areas, including Vitosha Nature Park at the edge of Sofia and Strandzha Nature Park on the Black Sea Coast.
The event will help to raise public awareness and appreciation of these natural jewels as well as the threats that many of them face, including illegal or semi-legal construction of ski and tourism infrastructure.
