Official Ceremony For Welcoming Tarpans
The official ceremony for welcoming the Tarpans (wild horses) that arrived Monday to Bulgaria is scheduled on September 6, 8 am in the area of the village of Sbor, Krumovgrad municipality.
The Mayor of Krumovgard Ms. Sebihan Mehmed will attend the ceremony.
These are the first 12 tarpans that will be reintroduced in Bulgaria within the New Thracian Gold project (NTG). The Tarpans arrival to Sbor is coordinated by Hristo Hristov, expert on wildlife in the NTG project.
In the first year of the Bulgarian experiment wildlife experts will keep the Tarpans fenced for appropriate habituation to the Rhodopian wilderness. When the horses are accustomed to Bulgarian nature, they shall be released to the wild. Their role in Eastern Rhodopi nature will be the same as in ancient times: to graze the wild vegetation, to mold the wilderness and to support a natural ecosystem.
