Biodivervity in Bulgaria :: Protected species
Protection of threatened species animals and plants exists for centuries. In the past it has been imposed mostly because of their economic values, while recently –considering also the contemporary concepts in nature conservation. Legislative tools for this focus on controlling use, possessing, hunting and fishing, trade, etc., using absolute restrictions, quotas, seasons or other tools and instruments.
Species conservation in Bulgaria is regulated by the Hunting Act (2000), the Medicinal Plants Act (2000), the Fisheries and Aquacultures Act (2001) and above all by the Biodiversity Act (2002).
