Researching & Conserving Wildlife & Traditional Ecological Knowledge in the Rodopi Mountains

Wild Rodopi

Wild Rodopi

Wild Rodopi is an independent non-governmental organization (NGO) that conducts wildlife research and ethnoecological conservation projects in the Rodopi (Rhodope) Mountains. As well as utilizing standard ecological techniques to record and monitor the exceptionally rich flora and fauna of the Rodopi (Rhodope) Mountains, we also employ multispecies ethnography to investigate the complex multispecies entanglements that exist, and to better understand how the ecology, behaviour, and ultimately survival of the nonhuman inhabitants of the Rodopi Mountains are influenced and impacted by geopolitical, economic, and cultural factors.
