Our team joined this year’s edition of the ‘Uzana Polyana Fest – green ideas working’, where the geographical centre of our country – Uzana, was once again a centre of ecological ideas and nature conservation causes.

Our friends at the Zahariy Knyazhevski Regional Library, Stara Zagora invited us on the 25th July to celebrate the World Whale and Dolphin Day. On the 23rd July 1982 the International Whaling Commission voted for a complete ban on commercial whaling for the period 1985-86 and since has been celebrated as the World Whale and Dolphin Day.
