A scientific breakthrough marks the preservation of the Dalmatian pelican population in Bulgaria. Nature conservation specialists officially confirmed the exceptional achievement – restoration of a breeding area after an eighty-year interruption.
The large-scale project "Pelican Way of LIFE", supported by the European LIFE program and Arcadia Foundation, resulted in the construction of specialized artificial platforms between 2021 and 2024. The result is more than promising – 23 individual nests have been registered with the presence of over a hundred adult specimens.
The new colony represents the fourth official breeding site for the species within national borders, after the already known locations of Srebarna, Belene, and Kalimok-Primorsko. The strategic positioning in the lake, with minimal human presence, provides optimal breeding conditions.
Experts define this success as a key moment in conservation efforts, which can serve as a model for future interventions along the Black Sea coast.
