Conservation of Lilium rhodopeum in Bulgaria
The “Honeyguide Wildlife Charitable Trust” has been funding conservation of L. rhodopeum since 2012, during which time regular monitoring, changes to agricultural practices and other measures have led to a significant increase in the size of this colony. Chris Durdin of Honeyguide will give an account of this conservation project, along with Vladimir Trifonov, a botanist working for the Bulgarian Ministry of Environment. Vladimir has carried out annual surveys and been the local consultant involved in managing the conservation work.
