Prime Minister Edi Rama shared today in the social media a video from, “The wildlife world in our national parks, discovered thanks to camera traps and the care of the protected area specialists”.

In the video collage of the wildlife, there are identified animals such as the wild cat, wolf, fox, great cormorant (migratory bird), badger, wild goose, sable, a pack of jackals and a stork.

The wild animals live peacefully in their habitat thanks to the hunting moratorium.

The installation of camera traps in protected areas aims to observe the wildlife found in these areas of the country, while also raising awareness among citizens about the significance of nature and wildlife. /e.i/r.e/a.f/p.s./
