Cross-border environment protection in Europe

The Prespa region is an area of land shared between three countries: Albania, Macedonia and Greece. UNESCO has declared the region a natural heritage site. But the Prespa’s future is at risk. Overfishing, overgrazing and illegal logging have destroyed some of Prespa’s precious ecosystem. Now, all three countries are working on initiatives to preserve the region’s unique flora and fauna, include locals in the project and tackle social inequality.
