Bio-diversity

Main objective of the project is the restoration of parts of degraded Mediterranean vegetation on mid stream Shkumbini River basin. Some 12 hectares provided by local villagers will be reforested with natural bush-like trees (Lauretum purum, Laurus nobilis, etc.). Field activities include planting seeds and using forestry techniques to restore forest and habitats. Other activities also include administrative measures, raising public awareness, institutional strengthening of local NGOs, and encouragement for women participation in the project. Net result would be some restored ecosystems and newly forested areas, which on their behalf might halt land degradation. Expected materials for dissemination include a leaflet, a poster, and a brochure.
