Description

The Republic of Bulgaria is a Southeast European country that was previously a Soviet Union territory until 1990. This meant that they had inherited a largely fossil fuel dependent infrastructure. Bulgaria now faces environmental issues such as water pollution, environmental degradation and pollution related diseases. We explore the case of the Bulgarian Emerald, a vulnerable dragonfly species that is affected by water pollution and habitat loss. Targeted actions recommended by Sustainable development goals (SDGs) 3,6, and 9 will help Bulgaria address these environmental issues.
