Valorisation Study – Albanian Alps National Park
This project contributes to UNEP’s Programme of Work 2022-2023 and implements part of a GEF 7 Project focused on biodiversity conservation and climate change resilience in Albania’s northern mountainous region. It aims to develop a valorisation study for the Albanian Alps National Park to support effective management planning and sustainable financing of the protected area. The study will detail environmental, climate, territorial and socio-economic aspects of the park to inform policy making and capacity building.
The Albanian Alps National Park currently lacks a comprehensive assessment of its ecological and socio-economic value, hindering effective management and conservation efforts.
This project will address this gap by providing a detailed analysis of the park’s resources, threats, and opportunities. The resulting valorisation study will serve as a foundation for developing an updated management plan and exploring sustainable financing mechanisms for the park’s long-term conservation.
