The “NGOs for Biodiversity Conservation” project will address the preservation of the territorial and ecological integrity of the network of Protected Areas of Albania. The network starts from the 1960s, when the first protected areas were announced, consisting mainly of small forest areas. After the 2000s, this network was significantly expanded in order to fulfill the goal of creating oases of nature conservation and biodiversity of the country. Today, this network includes diverse ecosystems including mountainous ones covered with forests, grasslands and especially wetlands that include lagoons, lakes, rivers, coastal waters, coastal forests, coastal forests, sand dunes, soils with saline vegetation, shrubs, forests etc.
