    The biosphere reserve Srebarna is located on the Danube, in the northeast of Bulgaria, about 17 km west of Silistra. It covers over 900 hectares, where 99 bird species breed and overwinter 80 migratory bird species
    As early as 1942, Lake Srebarna was declared a national bird sanctuary and in 1948 a nature reserve. In 1973, the declaration of wetland of international importance followed and in 1977 the area was first recognized by UNESCO as a biosphere. A buffer zone was created in 1983 for protection around the lake, in the same year it was also included in the list of the World Natural Heritage of UNESCO. The construction of a dam upstream of the Danube led to gradual dehydration, as the annual floods did not occur. As a result, the Biosphere Reserve was listed as a World Heritage in Danger from 1992 to 2002, as there was, among other things, a significant decline in the pelican population.
