Central Northen Albania

About the importance of biodiversity for our life

PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION OF BIODIVERSITY in Central Northern Albania

This special landscape takes your breath away, if you take the south-western entrance of the Mirdita - Region, passing the wide, meandering riverbed of the Mat, its impressive gravel bars and the bridge “Ura e Zogut“, one of the largest constructions of the time of the kingdom.

The comprehensive, large-format illustrated book offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in a multi-layered natural wonder with impressive natural landscapes, as well as cultural landscapes, formed by the locals over centuries under efforts and hardships.  

The still completely unknown area with its dynamic mosaic of flower-strewn mountain meadows, sparkling springs, crystal clear mountain creeks, spectacular rock formations, enchanting alpine pastures and diverse wildlife is presented on 248 pages in 30 chapters with an impressive 680 color photos.

The author would like to dedicate this book to the impressive diversity of species, the variety of ecosystems, as well the magnificent interaction between all living beings and their environment.

“This book will support knowledge, comprehension and enthusiasm of people for the nature in terms the transfer of knowledge. Additionally, it will be an impulse for conservation of the nature to us to keep this great species diversity and the habitat for our kids and grandkids. Not to take care of the biodiversity leads to the fact that we eviscerate the nature and further generations will not have a peaceful and lifeworthy future. If we do not take care of the biodiversity of the area, we allow evisceration, and further generations will not have a peaceful and lifeworthy future.

One must be aware that the conservation of the natural environment is the key-question of our survival!”
