This National Biodiversity Conservation Plan for 2005-2010 is a nation-wide cross-sectoral document. The long-term strategic target of the National Biodiversity Conservation Plan is: Conservation, restoration and sustainable management of the native biological diversity aiming the establishment of optimal conditions, surroundings and prospects for the people’s life. The strategic target of the Plan until 2010 is: Diminution of the biodiversity loss. To make agriculture, fisheries and forestry more productive and sustainable, the Plan suggests (i) Introduction and application of good agricultural practices and preservation of the traditional agricultural practices in agricultural lands biodiversity the conservation; (ii) Approval and application of an agroecological plan containing measures for the longterm biodiversity conservation; (iii) Consolidation and enlargement of biological agriculture; (iv) Enhancement of the informativeness of the agricultural sector personnel regarding the biodiversity conservation and sustainable utilization, as well as about the opportunities for the agroecological measures application; (v) Enforcement of the Birds Directive and Habitats Directive in the forestry policy and the forestry legislation as well; (vi) Application of prioritary measures aimed at the biodiversity conservation in old natural forests; (vii) Diminution of the volume and surface affected by the illegal and unauthorized logging in the forest fund and enhancement of control; (viii) Application of modern afforestation practices based on the scientific researches and ecosystematic approach; (ix)Introduction and utilization of the structure funds in fishery and fish-breeding for investments in the development of ecological management control practices; (x) Securing of an optimal conservational status of the maritime habitats and species not subject to economic exploitation; (xi) Limitation of the quantity and composition of the species concomitant the fishery and preventing benthic injury; (xii) Assessment and restraint of the adverse impact of the aquacultures and fishery on the environment and biodiversity; (xiii) Monitoring of the fish stocks condition, their exploitation and aquacultures ecological development; (xiv) Development, strengthening and sustainable control of the National Ecological Network (NEN) based on the applying of the ecosystem approach and integration of the National Ecological Network (NEN) in the global ecological network through the announcement of the transboundary protected areas, zones and corridors; (xvi) Carrying out of monitoring of the species, habitats, ecosystems and landscapes, applying the EU standard indicators and methods, and harmonization of the lists of EU prioritary species and habitats in Bulgaria; (xvii) Identification of alien invasive species and establishment of measures for the restriction of their impact on the native species, ecosystems and human health as well; (xviii) Finalization of the transportation of the European legislation with regard to the work with genetically modified organisms (GMO) under controlled conditions, their release in the environment and putting on the market in pursuance to the sublaw normative acts; (ixx) Securing access to public information for the utilization of genetically modified organisms (GMO) and biological security. For increasing the resilience of livelihoods to disasters, the Plan proposes to prevent and/or decrease the negative impact on the biodiversity due to the climate change and adapt to it. In particular, it promotes (i) Study of the consequences due to the climate change on the biodiversity and undertaking of appropriate measures to limit them. (ii) Assessment of the impact on the desertification and soil degradation on the biological diversity and the limitation of consequences due to them.
