The illegal building in preserved areas has become a threat to the biological diversity of the country. Bulgaria is one of the European countries with the richest biological diversity, which is a national and European natural resource.
The Green Party is concerned by the fact that the abuse of different omissions in the legislation leads to the excessive building on the Black sea coastline and construction in territories, planned to be included in the “Natura 2000” network. As a result, instead of providing a means of living, in the near future tourism may cause the devastation of territories, the pollution of rivers and the destruction of natural sites.
Furthermore, the Green Party is also alarmed by the brazen violation of the Bulgarian and International legislation in terms of constructing ski-tracks in the national natural parks. An illustration of this is the case with the national park “Pirin”, where the constructed ski-tracks have destroyed the habitat of rare and protected animal and plant species.
We consider the Bulgarian biological diversity as an important national and European natural resource and therefore we find it necessary for the Government and the National Assembly to undertake urgent measures against the illegal construction in preserved areas and for the realization of rigid control on behalf of the administration and the public.
