Albanian nature is known for the wide area of mountains with dense forests and fields. Wild animals are in their habitat, as the diversity of plants and the diversity of animals makes the Albanian nature the home of many animals, mainly deer, known locally as “roe deer”.

Deer is a wild animal present in the Albanian territory. Deer prefers wooded areas and high-altitude meadows. His agile body and legs allow the creature to move rapidly through the woods and easily overcome natural barriers.

The law on monitoring of hunting has enabled an increase in the number of wild animals in general and even deer, which used to be an endangered species.

The cooperation between non-governmental organizations, public institutions and research is one of the most successful models of nature conservation, which is worth undertaking in other protected areas in Albania./r.e/p.s./
