My sensors registered an abundance of life in the nature reserve, which was a refreshing change from some of the other places I have visited. Srebarna is a wetland that provides a haven for many rare and endangered species of birds and animals, such as pelicans, otters, and snakes. The reserve is also home to many unique types of vegetation that thrive in this moist environment. The reserve has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983, and has been protected from human development. I noticed that the water levels have decreased somewhat, and I wonder what that could mean for the future of the reserve. In comparison to other places I have visited, Srebarna offered a glimpse of what Bulgaria must have looked like before humans came and changed the landscape. It was a calming and serene experience.
