<strong>Rila</strong> <strong>Monastery</strong> <strong>Nature</strong> <strong>Park</strong><br />

Non-timber Natural Resources<br />

The map shows the main locations of non-timber natural resources as the local<br />

population has indicated them as places from where such resources (medicinal plants,<br />

mushrooms, wild-growing fruits, or fish) are extracted. The data were gathered during<br />

a socioeconomic survey of the area carried out in 2001.<br />

Also marked on the map are locations of medicinal plants and forest fruits<br />

known from literary sources, as well as ones investigated during the field assessment<br />

conducted in 2001. In terms of quantities of the available resource, these locations fall<br />

in one of two categories: locations of relatively small stocks, and locations of<br />

relatively larger stocks, suitable for use (see the Table below).<br />

Most of the locations are situated in the forest zone, on the riverside terraces<br />

along the rivers Iliyna and Rilska and their tributaries. The quantitative estimate refers<br />

both to the point marked and to the adjacent areas where similar conditions for the<br />

development of the resource are available.<br />

The areas, as well as the regimes and norms governing the extraction of nontimber<br />

natural resources in the entire territory of <strong>Rila</strong> <strong>Monastery</strong> <strong>Nature</strong> <strong>Park</strong>, are<br />

determined and described in the prescriptive <strong>part</strong> of the management <strong>Plan</strong>, Chapter<br />

“Zoning”.<br />

The remaining elements are as per the Base Map.<br />

Digital models by Agrolesproject PLC, as well as data gathered during the<br />

field study carried out in 2001 by consultants to the BCEG Project, have served as the<br />

basis for compiling this map.<br />

The locations are named after the sampling station used during the 2001 Rapid<br />

Ecological Assessment; the same name is used in marking the location on the map.<br />
