ABOUT THE PROJECT: 

Thanks to its geographic position and to its long history of bridge between Balkans and Mediterranean, Albania owns a pretious cultural and biological heritage, that needs protection and, at the same time, represents a level for a sustainable socio-economic development.

 

After the accession to Natura 2000, the main European Union instrument for the conservation of biodiversity – a pre-condition for the accession of the Country to UE -, Albania started to have about 4.600 Km2 of National Parks and Reserves. However, the management of these areas is not optimal: the relative reform suffers the lack of technical competences and financial resources.

 

Environment protection is a core theme at International level and Albania is one of the Signatory Countries of Paris 2015 Agreement. Unfortunately, however, the signature is not enough: the Country still lacks of a strategy for CO2 emissions reduction and the unconsciousness of the inhabitants about the sustainable alternatives burdens this situation.

 

In this context borns project “ACAP: Community Action to preserve Protected Areas in Albania” – financed by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation, whose activities will involve both the Environment Ministry and Municipalities. The latter, in fact, are interested in the new environmental law, seeking at reducing as possible their managerial and operative lacks.

 

To reduce the impact on the environment due to antropic pressure, we will base our intervention on the training to Park Rangers and Officers and, on the other hand, on young awareness and partnership with local business, for the conversion to Green Economy.

 

ACAP is a project realized by CELIM, in partnership with COSV, NAPA (National Agency for the Protected Areas), Kallipolis and INCA (Institute for National Conservation in Albania).
