What is biodiversity?

Leaflet

Biodiversity includes the entire variety of living organisms in all the forms that nature has created—marine species, freshwater species, terrestrial species, and more. It ranges from the smallest microorganisms, like bacteria, to giant whales, known as the largest species on our planet, which also visit Albania. But beyond this extraordinary richness, biodiversity plays a vital role in our daily lives. Learn more.

Flight for survival

Leaflet

At least 9 species of migratory birds have been identified in Albania, including the Egyptian vulture and the white stork. However, every year, around 206,000 to 325,000 birds are illegally killed or captured, ranking Albania among the 10 most dangerous countries in the Mediterranean for migratory birds. Learn more.

Birds of wetlands

Leaflet

Wetlands provide a suitable habitat where water birds can nest, feed, and rest. However, the pressure from development projects has put both these ecosystems and species at risk. Learn more.
