TIRANA, June 2 – The governments of Albania, Bosnia, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia have agreed to increase cross-border conservation efforts in an area of Southeastern Europe especially rich in wildlife, including bears, lynx, wolves and golden jackals.
The nations said they would create 13 new protected areas and extend 9 others in the Dinaric Arc, an area that stretches from Trieste in Italy to Tirana in Albania.
The area, with large areas of undamaged forest, also has some of the richest freshwater ecosystems in the Mediterranean, according to environmentalists.
