February 2 - International Wetlands Day

Each year on February 2, we celebrate the International Wetlands Day. On this date in 1971 in Ramsar, Iran, the Convention on Wetlands was adopted. Lake Atanasovsko is among the first four wetlands, which Bulgaria added to the Ramsar document. For our country, the Convention is in force since 1976.
Students from two schools in Burgas will participate in the conference „WETLANDS – THE BLUE WEALTH OF BURGAS. The event is organized by the Regional History Museum - Burgas in partnership with the Bulgarian Society for Birds Protection. Three teams from each school, Konstantin Preslavski School and High School of Mathematics Acad N. Obreshkov, will present the richness of Burgas lakes in multimedia presentations. There will be prizes for all participants.
Participants in the student conference will be able to view the exhibition “Lake Atanasovsko - people, birds and salt” dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the lake’s declaration as a maintained nature reserve through the implementation of project "Life for the Burgas lakes" part of the EU program LIFE +, by BSPB in partnership with Municipality Burgas.
If you want to learn more about the lakes of Burgas and its bird species variety, as well as to view 18 photographs revealing the unique beauty of Lake Atanasovsko, you are welcome to join the student conference.
The conference will be held on February 2 2011, 10:00 in the hall of Natural-History Exposition – Burgas (ul. Fotinov 30).
