All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Conservation and Compliance: A Case Study in Kosovo’s Bjeshkët e Nemuna National Park by MEGHAN NORA LITTLE has been approved for the Program of Environmental Studies and the Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs by Geoffrey Buckley Professor of Geography Mark Weinberg Dean, Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs 3 ABSTRACT LITTLE, MEGHAN NORA, M.S., May 2019, Environmental Studies Conservation and Compliance: A Case Study in Kosovo’s Bjeshkët e Nemuna National Park Director of Thesis: Geoffrey Buckley Global estimates indicate an average of thirteen million hectares of forest loss each year. In response to the ever-increasing threats to terrestrial biodiversity, protected areas such as national parks have become the main tool for nature conservation across the globe. However, a closer look at protected areas shows that compliance with regulations is a significant challenge, compromising the ability of conservation efforts to fulfill their goals and protect the ecosystems as intended. If protected areas are to remain a central conservation tool, more empirical research is needed to identify and understand drivers of noncompliance. This thesis takes an in-depth look at Bjeshkët e Nemuna National Park in Kosovo. Home to over 255 endemic species, the park was established in 2012 to protect the country’s most biodiverse region.

    MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT AND SPATIAL PLANNING KOSOVO ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY KOSOVO INSTITUTE FOR NATURE PROTECTION MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT AND SPATIAL PLANNING KOSOVO ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY KOSOVO INSTITUTE FOR NATURE PROTECTION Prishtina, 2019 2 Dear readers, Man is part of nature and not its possessor, so his demands and interests must be in harmony with the laws of nature and its ecological balance. Natural heritage of a country is one of the most important assets of it. National Parks, forest ecosystems, nature monuments and water resources, despite they are habitats for many rare species of plants and animals they cover on themselves many phenomena and rare interesting geological, morphological, hydrological and landscape characteristics which are also important sources for economic development, social welfare, education and recreation. However, uncontrolled and unplanned using of these values and natural resources can bring unrecoverable damages which will consequently have both, extinction of rare plants and animals and damage the rare natural phenomena. Considering this fact, Kosovo’s institutions have put in their priorities the protection and conservation of rare natural heritages. Today, Kosovo has about 11.5 % of its territory protected by law, under which are included the protected areas of different categories such as national parks, nature reserves, nature parks, protected monuments and other natural areas of special importance. Also, with the aim of ensuring efficient management and sustainable development of these values except the respective legislation in the field of nature protection and biodiversity are drafted strategies, action plans, spatial plans and programs even for nature of Kosovo in general or for certain areas in particular.

Department of Agro-Environment and Ecology. Agricultural University of Tirana. Burim Haxhibeqiri Tirana, Albania. Department of Agro-Environment and Ecology. Agricultural University of Tirana. Ferdi Brahushi Tirana, Albania. Department of Agro-Environment and Ecology. Agricultural University of Tirana. Luan Daija Tirana, Albania. Abstract White Drin River and the environment around it, are very important to human kind, thus we, as a society, need to take good care of White Drin River and keep it is as clean as possible. Water quality in the basin of the White Drin River comes from anthropogenic activities, mainly from urban leaks and discharges from sewage, agriculture, as well as discharges from industry and the various factors that carry out their activities in White Drin river basin. In this study is presented the current situation of the White Drin basin, especially in thirteen locations where other tributaries flow into it, as the river Klina, Mirusha, river Ereniku and river Lumëbardhi Prizren, in order to assess the quality of the Drin river basin. This study analyzed the physical and chemical parameters, such as air temperature, water temperature, pH value, turbidity, total hardness, specific conductivity, dissolved oxygen, consumption of potassium permanganate, nitrates, nitrites, iron, manganese, ammonia, phosphates, etc. Water samples were analyzed in physical - chemical laboratory, with methods such as: volumetric methods, atomic absorption method (AAS), spectrophotometric methods, photometric methods, etc.

The taxonomy of the broadly defined C. versicolor was controversial in the past due to high morphological variability of the populations across the range. We used microsatellite DNA data along with morphometric analyses on an extensive population sampling covering the entire range to reconstruct the relationships among populations of the intricate C.

  • Sustainable Tourism Important Factor for Kosovo's Economy
    International Journal of Education and Research Vol. 8 No. 1 January 2020 Sustainable tourism important factor for Kosovo's economy Afrim Selimaj – UHZ, email: [email protected] Bedri Millaku *– UHZ, email: [email protected] Adem Dreshaj – UHZ, email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Tourism has the orientation base in the most complex activities of modern society. It represents the most important branch of the economy in some developed countries but also in some transition countries. Tourism is an important export product and employment generator. So it is beautifully complex because it involves a wide mix of phenomena and reports that arise at the time of the traveler. Tourism is associated with many activities that include not only economically but also social, cultural and ecological aspects of life. In Kosovo tourism is an important branch of the economy. This industry in the country has realized 8 - 10% of the country's social product. All factors that have had a direct impact such as: hotel, gastronomy including factors that have had an indirect impact such as agriculture, construction etc. are included. Therefore, the qualitative planning of space is one of the most important prerequisites for the long-term and sustainable development of tourism in Kosovo. In order to develop sustainable tourism in Kosovo, many national parks have become operational. Alp Mountains, National Park and Sharr National Park. Both play a role in tourism development on the one hand and environmental sustainability on the other. These represent good potentials for tourism development and environmental sustainability. Key words: Kosovo, Alp Mountains, Sharr Mountains, Tourism, Sustainability, Economic Development.
