WWF-Bulgaria called for support for wildlife in its new "Subscribe to Nature" campaign. According to data from the Red Book, between 60 and 65,000 animal species live in Bulgaria, a large part of which are invertebrates, environmentalists point out. Many of them are endemic to this country and the Balkan Peninsula. Vertebrates are the best studied - 781 known species, but unfortunately, many of their populations are at risk, WWF-Bulgaria warns.

In connection with its new campaign, WWF expressed its belief that no one would like to see wild animals only as pictures in encyclopaedias of endangered species. All of them together form ecosystems that maintain the balance and life on Earth, the organization points out.
