This project came up as a result of a planning grant, which paved the way to the preparation of this full project-proposal
The main aim of this project is a general inventory, pointing out the permanent and temporary habitats of bobcat in the areas of Shkodra, Malesi e Madhe, Puka, Bulqize, Mat and Librazhd. This study will serve as a preliminary basis for developing the bobcats conservation system in Albania. The project will intend to involve the whole local communities of the above mentioned areas, in public awareness campaigns which will be developed through this project on bobcat inventory and its protection. Thus, meetings, round-tables, seminars will be held with local communities. Questioners, leaflets and posters will be published and distributed, aiming the rising of public awareness. A 'bobcat map'in Albania, will also be produced.
