A variety of activities and branches of science can contribute to the reintroduction efforts for plant and animal species. Art is one of them. This paper aims to present several chief types of art and their vital role in the work of state institutions and nature conservation groups that are involved with restoring certain species’ population in Bulgaria. The study has a pioneering nature, as there are no prior efforts in Bulgaria to show the synergies between art and nature conservation.
