Central Balkan National Park (BG)


The EUROPARC Federation is pleased that the Central Balkan National Park joined the EUROPARC Junior Ranger network in 2005. The Central Balkan National Park is the first protected area in Bulgaria to organise junior ranger activities! A grant awarded by the EUROPARC Federation and funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of Environment, Health and Consumer Protection (D) supported the Central Balkan National Park's junior ranger activities financially.

Nicolay Golemanov, junior ranger project coordinator, organised a summer camp and taught junior rangers a lot about the Central Balkan National Park including its flora and fauna. Junior rangers also learnt how to survive in the mountain and how the park can be supported through on-going voluntary work. After each training module junior rangers took exams.
 

  
 

An other Junior Ranger camp was organised during the summer 2007. Here some pictures:
