Deputy Minister of Tourism and Environment Almira Xhambulla and accompanying staff were invited for this bill.

In the presentation of this draft law, Xhambulla stated that, “With revision of the unification with the code of administrative procedures, it is planned to amend those articles which deal with the revocation of the permit and not the validity of the CITES permit, for the international trade of endangered species of wild fauna and flora.”

The relator of the case Baftajr Zeqaj said that the purpose of changing the law is to ensure the effective implementation of public administrative functions in the service of persons and the protection of their rights and legal interests.

The unification of the articles of this law with the Code of Administrative Procedures makes it possible to effectively perform public administrative functions in the service of persons who seek to be provided with a permit so that the international trade of wild fauna and flora does not endanger their survival and avoid their abuses during international trade.

After discussions, the committee members approved this draft law in principle. /j.p/p.s./

“The colleagues of the 12 regional directorates of Natural Protected Areas give us a good news on the eve of the New Year”, said Kumbaro, who then listed the plants and animals found by the specialists of the National Agency of Protected areas throughout the Albanian territory.

Some of the new findings on the flora are: Centaurea Shumkana, Eranthis hyemalis, Buxbaumia viridis, Limonium csamilium.

New documentation on the fauna concerns species such as: Mediterranean seal, Balkan lynx, Odontaspis ferox, Wild turkey, Sea turtle, Wild goat, Roe deer, Deer, Jackal, Otter, Snail (Allaegopis amphikypellon), Bear, wolf, badger, partridge and wild boar.

Thanks to the moratorium on hunting as well as the constant care of the staff of the protected areas, there has been a regeneration of wild fauna in our country.

Thanks to the moratorium, there is already not only an increase in the number of species, restoring normality to natural habitats, but also quite unique attractions such as protected areas with a significant increase in visitors. The extension of the moratorium until 2025 aims to improve the condition of wild fauna species./p.s./
