Besides all the shooting and bombing, there are plenty of opportunities
for recreation and vacationing in the Balkan republics.  Here are new
collections of articles and tips about Eco-touring in Albania, Serbia/
Yugoslavia, and Macedonia.  Can readers here dig up anything on touring
in Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, et al?  It's good to have the full story.

>3.4. Nature Conservation

>In Albania there are 6 National Forests with a surface of 8,040 ha: Lura
>(800 ha, Divjake (780 ha), Llogara (810 ha), Bredhi i Drenoves (830 ha), De
>Thethi (2,430 ha) and Dajti (2,390 ha). All these parks are under permanent
>threat of human activities such as hunting, wood cutting etc. The park
>management is insufficient.
>
>Beside this there are 24 nature reserves and 2000 nature monuments. The
>protection of these areas is mainly on paper.
>
>Due to public pressure, in 1994 hunting was forbidden in Albania, which led
>to some improvements in the protected areas such as the Karavasta Lagoon in
>the Divjake National Park, the most western nesting site in Europe of the
>endangered Dalmatian Pelican.
>
>36% of the country is covered with forests. Due to an insufficient
>management of these areas and illegal cutting of trees for private heating,
>the number of trees is declining.[10] Deforestation is a problem in almost
>all rural areas of Albania.
