Conservation team from Bulgaria to visit UK wildlife charity

Press Release dated: Thursday, October 30, 2003

This weekend a delegation of eight senior conservationists and managers from the National Trust EcoFund of Bulgaria will be arriving in the UK. With the change from communism, the management of parks and reserves is being transformed, and the delegation has been funded by USAID to find out more about how UK non-government organisations operate in this field. The World Land Trust is hosting the delegation, and their tour is being facilitated by Iain Orr, who recently retired as Head of Biodiversity in the UK's Foreign Office.

The World Land Trust was started in 1989 to raise funds for conserving land in Belize. It has gone on to help set up similar operations in several other countries, as well as advise on land conservation issues. Its operations currently include Ecuador, Belize and India.

The Bulgarian delegation will visit RSPB and National Trust reserves, as well as visiting the HQs of the organisations. They will also be meeting other organisations based in and around London and East Anglia.
