On February 26th the SUniversity Club for Ecology and Sustainable Development UNECO will initiate a campaign to express the students’ discontent with the small territory range of NATURA 2000 approved by the Councils of Ministers for Bulgaria. The students will set up a camp of tents and signs saying “Bulgaria – a Step Mother to Her Children” on the campus of Sofia University St. Climent Ohridski. This action is a part of a long-term campaign to inform the public and the educational institutions on the matter of NATURA 2000, as well as to help the preservation of national natural treasure and the health of future generations. UNECO alarms that our country will inevitably suffer sanctions in the form of the blocked structure funds, as for example Poland does now. The citizens of Bulgaria will have to pay for the devastation of our nature from their own pockets, while the ones who will suffer most will be the youth, the children of Bulgaria - another reason for them to want to leave their home country.
