Notes:
An excellent birdwatching guide, the first extensive one for Bulgaria, containing also 40 line drawings of birds by George Pchelarov and 40 small-scale topographic maps showing places of nesting of most interesting species, as well as a complete list of the Bulgarian ornithofauna including Latin, English and Bulgarian species` names. The book contains also a lot of useful information for travelling in Bulgaria. Published in co-operation with the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds, a partner of BirdLife International. The author, Dr. Peter Iankov, is Executive Director of the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds. "Ecotourism is the fastest growing segment of the tourism industry worldwide and birdwatching is an important part of that increase. This excellent new guide to birding in Bulgaria by Dr. Petar Iankov goes far to making Bulgaria an exciting destination for birders from various countries. The guide is a very useful combination of bird lists, access maps and practical information on food and lodging. It also fills an important conservation need in identifying key areas for appreciation and protection . Bulgaria`s abundant birdlife is now accessible." Gerard Bertrand (USA)of the World Council of BirdLife International "I visited Bulgaria for the first time in June 1994, during which the author took me on a few days birding trip. These days are still in my memory, thanks to a wide variety of very interesting bird species and vast tracks of rather unspoiled nature and habitats! However, economical and social changes in this part of Europe already do put pressure on them, whilst many of the sites are vulnerable to disturbance. Proper guidance of ecotourism is therefore a must. This was recognised by the BSPB, the Bulgarian BirdLife Partner. The author selected these sites that will give you the best coverage of all bird species that make Bulgaria so special and that are save to visit from a disturbance point of view. An excellent initiative, for the mutual benefit of birdwatchers and birds!" Johanna E. Winkelman (The Netherlands)of the European Committee of BirdLife International
