Description
Albanian environmental NGO and the national partner of BirdLife International. Its director is Aleksandër Trajçe (see persons). Documented roles in the Vjosa-Narta file: complainant in the Bern Convention Vjosa file (with EcoAlbania and EuroNatur, 2016-05 file, per coe.int document title); 'Supported by' credit in the Wikipedia infobox of the 2026 Zvërnec protest; a PPNEA-linked protest outside the Ministry of Environment on 26 May 2026 (per Wikipedia); a joint statement by environmental NGOs boycotting Ministry consultations until the protected-areas law amendments are repealed (PPNEA press release, undated in search result); a response to the European Commission's statement (per citizens.al, June 2026). Funders documented in sources read: CEPF (earlier 'Land, eagles and castles' project 2012-2016 and a later CEPF project on Narta Lagoon and Butrint, per cepf.net grantee page, which returned HTTP 403 when opened, so only search-result text was seen); DIMFE (Donors Initiative for Mediterranean Freshwater Ecosystems) supports PPNEA's 'Protecting Vjosa's Delta from unsustainable urban development' project (per PPNEA portfolio page, no amount). No annual-report donor list could be read.
