Abstract: The use and contamination of natural resources is growing with ever accelerating pace. The Bulgarian strategy for their protection and regeneration must account for the methods and mechanisms, applied in the EU, including fiscal and non-fiscal instruments. We analyse the methods and mechanisms of management, protection and reproduction of natural resources, divided into five groups: biological; legal and administrative; economic; moral, religious; citizen initiatives; informal organizations initiatives. We suggest a wider consideration of the motivation of the final consumer of natural resources and the sources of damage in gathering funds for protection and reproduction of resources. It is necessary to achieve more significant state involvement. The sectors of the economy most interested in the preservation of natural resources – tourism etc., ought to have a more active role, based on the principle of consensus, in supporting the efforts of the state.
