February 2004 Insufficient information from and about the Park The fact of this territory’s designation as a Nature Park on account of its conservation significance is, more often than not, unknown to visitors, whether Bulgarian or foreign. Although Rila Monastery is among the most popular tourist destinations with Bulgarian as well as international tourists, little information is available about its history, its connection with the surrounding natural scenery, or the importance of this territory from the perspective of the international environmentalist community. While Rila Monastery itself, being a World Heritage site, is a known symbol of Bulgaria’s national pride and a major destination for foreign visitors, little is known of the Park’s significance as one of the most valuable protected natural areas in the country. The insufficient quantity of relevant information diminishes people’s understanding, sensitivity and appreciation of the Park’s value, whether natural or spiritual. This fact also reduces the Park’s potential to contribute towards making Bulgaria a leader in harmonious collaborative management of sites of exceptional cultural, religious and conservation significance located within the same territory. In addition, there is limited support on behalf of the public sector for the progress and accomplishments made in the sphere of nature protection within the Park territory. The Directorate of RMNP operates in the absence of a coherent, coordinated strategy of communication with the landowners. Whatever information is available from the Directorate is limited to highlighting the natural values of the Park without any relation to the cultural and spiritual treasures in its territory. There is practically no support on behalf of the private sector in this respect. There is very little preliminary information, whether in the form of educational materials or advertising, outside the Park territory; while the information available within it is still insufficient. The unavailability of advance information as to what visitors can and cannot do within the Park territory makes management of the tourist flow extremely difficult, while lowering the quality of tourist services and visitor experience during the actual visit. Significance: high Inefficient mechanisms of interaction, conflict resolution and harnessing support by local communities and institutions The new management models developed for protected areas require that their management plans, as well as any activities envisioned in them, be attuned to the livelihood and the general economic situation of the local communities. The Park administration, in addition to being faced with the challenge of collaborating with a major landowner, the only private holder of lands within the Park, should also interact and cooperate with the local authorities and communities in the adjoining territories. Mechanisms and public relations programs should therefore be identified to allow that the needs and responsibilities of the local population become intertwined with the needs and responsibilities pertinent to the management of the Park. In more specific terms, it is necessary to seek methods and tools to deal with issues like gathering of firewood, access to non-timber natural products, communication and water supply systems, waste management, etc. All these activities should be organized in such a way as to fully take into consideration the interests, role and responsibilities of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, since most of them are to be performed on its property.

February 2004 The presence of a settlement unit in RMNP Rila Monastery itself has the status of a populated place, or settlement (see Section 1, Chapter 1.2). Pursuant to the provisions of the Protected Areas Act, the Management Plan cannot lay down conditions, requirements, regimes or norms valid for populated areas within the territory of the respective Nature Park. However, despite its settlement status, no zoning or urban development plan is being implemented for Rila Monastery, therefore activities carried out in its immediate vicinity (retail trade, catering, parking lots etc.) considerably affect and diminish the proper perception and appreciation of its exceptional spiritual and religious value. The lack of clear-cut boundaries of the Rila Monastery settlement unit and the obvious absence of an operational zoning and urban development plan for its territory threaten to compromise the sacred religious core of Rila Monastery Nature Park while jeopardizing the effective integration of this populated area with the ideal goals set for the Park by virtue of its first Management Plan.
