About the Project
The project aims at popularizing the nature of National park
"Pirin" and at giving an open public space for a dialog between
the stakeholders and the wide public relating the nature destructive
project for building new ski tracks near Bansko.
BlueLink, the virtual information network of
Bulgarian civil society environmental organizations initiated
a civil society web portal for Pirin National Park on the basis
of the online campaign Save Pirin, which BlueLink already supports
for 2 years. The creation of the portal is urgently needed as
the problem is still acute - even after the Ministry
of Environment and Waters allowed the construction
of new ski tracks. The voices of activists, experts, conscious
scientists and journalists who oppose the government's plans
are being muted by the choir of political, media and business
voices serving the commercial interests.
The portal aims at popularizing the nature of Pirin National
Park in a way make the public aware about projects and actions,
which were initiated to save this treasure nature gift. Particular
attention and focus is given in representing the work of non-governmental
organisations. The Pirin portal presents information about current
efforts, activities, projects for saving Pirin's biodiversity.
Pirin Portal was developed with the financial support of Pirin
Project of Bulgarian-Swiss
Biodiversity Conservation Programme.
