Protection and Preservation of Natural Environment in Albania

Description

Protection and Preservation of Natural Environment in Albania (PPNEA) is a non-governmental environmental organization that operates nationwide, known to be the first environmental organization in Albania. It was officially established on 5 June 1991, with a special decree of the Albanian Academy of Sciences at the time. It emerged in a period of turmoil and socio-economic change in the country and the wider region – a time where environmental issues were looked down upon and given marginal priority in governing and policy issues. Lately, PPNEA has expanded its work in almost all the protected areas of Albania and in the transboundary areas with Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro and Greece. Its work has been extensive in the protection of important habitats and endangered species. Through scientific studies PPNEA has been working for several years now for the conservation of important species as the Balkan Lynx, Brown Bear, Dalmatian Pelican, Egyptian Vulture, Mediterranean Monk Seal, etc.
