This year, we’ve taken bold steps to protect and preserve Albania’s natural heritage. Together with our partners, we’ve worked tirelessly to ensure a greener, more sustainable future. Here’s a look at what we’ve accomplished:
Policy Advocacy: We actively contributed to discussions with the Parliament of Albania on critical changes to the Protected Areas Law, standing up for nature and biodiversity.
Freeing the Rivers: Through the Albanian DARE Project, we supported efforts to restore natural river flows and protect aquatic ecosystems.
Water Quality Matters: Our work in the ActiveWater II Project helped improve surface water quality, ensuring cleaner water for people and nature.
Climate Resilience: We built capacity in Roskovec Municipality on climate change adaptation and water management strategies.
Sustainable Infrastructure: We contributed to the planning of a multipurpose dam in Mallakastër Municipality, balancing development with environmental care.
Greening Cities: In partnership with Rotary Tirana International, we planted trees in Lezhë Municipality, enhancing urban green spaces near schools.
Eco-Conscious Development: We promote sustainable energy infrastructure in the construction of electrical substations.
