Summary
Srebarna Lake was declared as a protected site in 1942 and as a Nature Reserve in 1948. In 1975, Srebarna Lake was protected as a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention and, in 1977, as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. In 1983, it was listed as World Natural and Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO, and in 1989 the Lake was designated as European Important Bird Area (BG 033) by BirdLife International. The Nature Reserve has a total surface area of 902.1 ha (Vasilev et al 2012). No previous focused investigations had been carried out on terrestrial snails in the Reserve. Dedov (1998) found a total of seven species of land snails, adding three species to the previous observations: Fruticicola fruticum, Chondrula tridens and Xerolenta obvia
