Srebarna Pelican Colony

We at www.srebarnabirding.com welcome fresh ideas from other concerned individuals, groups and organisations who have suggestions on how to ensure an ongoing, protected, safe and sustainable environment at the Srebarna Biosphere Reserve. Actions suggested and impetus behind this petition come partly from Le Balkan who have been responsible for the past 12 years for work at the pelican colony in Srebarna. More info can be found at www.lebalkan.org . Save Srebarna. Save the Pelicans.

To:  Bulgarian Government, EU Commission, RIOS.

We the undersigned call upon the Government of the Republic of Bulgaria, The European Union Commission, RIOS The Ministry of Environment and Water to take action to ensure the ongoing success of the Breeding Dalmatian Pelican colony at Srebarna Biosphere Reserve in North-East Bulgaria. We ask for commitment to and monetary assistance with implementing the following actions;

1) The construction of a protective boundary fence that will deny access to the breeding site to land based predators. This will be done at a time sensitive to the colonies breeding activities and with as little impact as possible on the birds.

2) The location of a discreet hide at an environmentally sympathetic distance to be staffed by both paid and volunteer workers who will guard the sites during the breeding season thereby ensuring the safety of future egg clutches and guaranteeing successful fledging.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
