The national nature conservation teams report another monitoring period without sensational zoological registrations. As of the critical date of July 27, 2025, experts from leading ornithological organizations confirm the absence of significant scientific discoveries among rare predatory bird populations.

Current research programs, including the LIFE for Eagle's Habitats project, continue to document sustainable development of ornithological populations. Specialists note an increase in nesting pairs of Lesser Spotted Eagles, which is a positive conservation indicator.

Parallel to ornithological observations, experts maintain monitoring of black and bearded vulture populations in the Eastern Rhodopes. Information campaigns continue to emphasize restoration processes, including the successful reintroduction of the Eurasian beaver, re-registered in national territories in 2021.
