Ecologist Gergana Daskalova has returned to her childhood town in Bulgaria to investigate the impact of abandoned farmland on biodiversity. As agricultural land diminishes globally, abandoned areas create opportunities for ecosystems to recover. Daskalova's research raises important questions about conservation strategies: should we intervene in nature or allow it to self-regulate? The case of Bulgarian farmland highlights contrasting perceptions of land management and the potential benefits of surrendering land to natural processes.
Gergana Daskalova explores abandoned farmland in Bulgaria to understand the effects of land abandonment on biodiversity and the natural reclamation process.
Daskalova's research prompts a critical question in conservation: should we nurture nature or allow it to return to its natural state?
