A large and unsustainable tourism development project in Albania, known as “Divjak\u00eb Resort Albania”, was halted in the spring. It would have allowed the construction of a tourism resort at the core area of Divjaka-Karavasta National Park, aiming to exploit 12 kilometers of coastline and bring up to 18,000 visitors per day.<\/p>\n

The Mediterranean Wetlands Alliance<\/a>, driven by the Tour du Valat, and now an active member of MAVA\u2019s Outcome Action Plan on the protection and sustainable development of Coastal Wetland areas<\/a>, has contributed to this success.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the end of 2019, the Mediterranean Wetlands Alliance had sent a letter to the Government of Albania expressing its concerns about the reassessment of the country’s legislation in terms of the protection of national natural areas (https:\/\/tourduvalat.org\/en\/actualites-en\/protection-of-coastal-wetlands-in-albania-the-mediterranean-wetlands-alliance-lobbies-the-local-government\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, other projects are underway and Albania’s protected coastal areas are still under threat (https:\/\/mava-foundation.org\/tourism-development-project-halted-in-albania\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The activities of the Mediterranean Wetlands Alliance are funded in the framework of the project “Civil Society Organizations & Sustainable Management of Wetlands in the Mediterranean” by\u00a0 the Agence Fran\u00e7aise de D\u00e9veloppement (AFD<\/a>) and the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
