One of the main problems in the Prespa Park is the overexploitation of the oak forest for fire wood production and grazing. Due to restrictions applied in the last 5-8 years part of the forest has been growing beyond the critical height that makes ( ... )

This project also addresses a fundamental flaw in the current nature protection policies for the Protected Areas (PA) in Albania. The issue stands on the fact that who
