Description
The Sharr-Korab Massif represents a unique landscape where
nature, people and traditions have coexisted for generations, while the meadows
of Korab remain essential for local livelihoods and ecological balance. With
this vision, the project “Protection and Sustainable Use of Protected Areas in
the Sharr, Mavrovo and Korab-Koritnik Mountains” was created, which aims to
strengthen cross-border cooperation for the conservation of natural resources.
The project, funded by PONT and implemented by ALCDF with
partners in Albania and North Macedonia, covers over 180,000 hectares of
protected areas. It has created transboundary platforms, co-management
structures and monitoring networks that connect park administrations,
communities and experts.
A key component is the study on the assessment of the
condition and productivity of meadows in the Korab–Koritnik Nature Park, which
analyzes pressures, restoration potential and sustainable management of this
area.
The study was carried out by Prof. Dr. Elvin Toromani and
his team, in collaboration with vegetation and GIS experts, combined scientific
work with community involvement. This process reflects the role of shepherds,
local experience and the need for the protection of natural resources.
The final report serves as a scientific basis and as a call
to continue investments that guarantee the preservation of landscapes and the
well-being of communities.
