Albania’s Protected Area Law changes enable harmful economic and tourism development
Recent amendments to Albania's Protected Area Law increase flexibility for harmful economic and mass tourism developments, weakening environmental safeguards.
Legislative changes to Albania’s Protected Area Law give greater leeway for harmful economic and mass tourism projects in sensitive areas, undermining conservation goals and aligning with a regional trend of prioritizing short‑term economic interests over sustainable development. Environmental NGOs have raised concern that this flexibility threatens biodiversity, protected habitats, and endangered species.
