Nature – a challenge to World

Bulgaria is my native country.

They named it - the country of the roses.

The Thracians were the first to settle in this region.

Bulgaria has been a part of Europe since 681.

I'm Rosica. In fact, I am a primary teacher, but I have had the good fortune to work most of the positions in the Bulgarian school.

I ‘ve started as a teacher in the pre-school group.

I've been an educator.

I've been a primary teacher.

I've been a head of Primary school.

I’ve been a senior of expert of the primary education at the Regional Inspectorate of education.

Now I'm a depute head at 137 Secondary school “Аngel Kanchev”-Sofia, responsible for the training and everything related to the primary stage / pupils from 7 to 10 years old / and project school work,too .

A first step at school is very important.

IN BULGARIA WE ARE ENVIRONMENTAL

debtors.

We all enjoy the natural beauty around us.

But we all along not care about cleanliness and more - throw the most inappropriate places junk.

"The air in Bulgaria is so clean! But Sofia has a lot of waste junk. "

And that's the truth ...

110 912 km2

94 species of mammals, 383 birds, 36 reptiles,

16 amphibians, 207 Black Sea and freshwater fish, around 27,000 insects and other

invertebrates, between 3500 and 3750 species of

higher plants and more than 6,500 lower plants

and fungi.

Explore the most popular species start to Bulgarian children still in the early school years through out the curriculum subjects.

As a teacher in a subject “Nature and Man” I develop small projects with my students and say they aim to realization of human activity as a factor for biodiversity in Bulgaria.

Extinction31 species of higher

plants, 7 invertebrates,

3 fish species, two snakes, three birds,

two (possibly three) species of mammals

6 local animal breeds

Bulgarian forests cover about 3.9 million hectares

(about 35% of the total area of the country).

natural origin- freshwater fish species,

over 200 species of edible mushrooms

several hundred local medicinal plants

Bulgarian biodiversity faces many threats. Ecosystems - from

forests and alpine lakes to the open water areas and benthic communities of

the Black Sea.

National Strategy for Biodiversity Conservation (NSOBR)

Media campaigns, press conferences, public hearings on bills, local projects

to protect biodiversity, public discussions of proposals for the

designation of protected areas are carried out regularly by staff for public

relations of park administrations.

My country leaves schools free to decide what teaching methods to use; schools also

choose their own textbooks.

During this school year I have been working with students from the first grade. For about a month, I started a small school project, "You know animals and plants in Bulgaria”. They together have formed these panels which I show you today . I imagine that by the end of the school year we will do our panel of treatment and extinct species.

The aim of this project is of course - raise the children's attention on the role of humans on the biological diversity.

My Malhalm visit will help me to motivate them.

Thank you for your attention!
