In Albania, protected areas now cover 15.8% of the country's territory and forests play a decisive role as they make up a large part of the surface of these sites. However, the management of these areas is still very precarious and is experiencing structural problems that make it difficult to pursue lasting effects in environmental and biodiversity protection.
Thus was born, within the ACAP project (Community Action for the Conservation of Protected Areas of Albania), the idea of organizing meetings aimed at the exchange of good practices between the Montagne Fiorentine Model Forest and the Management Committees of the protected areas of southern Albania.
