Completion of the climate reforestation activities for the planting season of autumn 2022-winter 2023

IEP concluded this year’s reforestation campaign which lasted from October 2022 to beggining of March 2023, by planting 1468 black pine, umbrella pine, cedar, and laurel seedlings, together with 400 seeds of horse chestnuts. This activity was implemented as direct action to mitigate and adapt to climate change by engaging local communities and making them aware of the climate change and ways to mitigate it. Seedlings were planted in the protected areas of Divjakë-Karavasta, Kune-Vain (Lezhë), Korab-Koritnik (Kukës), and in Baldushk (Tiranë). Tens of volunteers and locals were engaged in this activity, which proved to be successful in raising awareness on climate change, and demand more direct action by the authorities.

IEP together with the rangers of the Korab-Koritnik Nature Park and the local community of the area, planted 320 black pines (Pinus nigra) as a direct action to mitigate and adapt to climate change by engaging local communities and making them aware of the climate change and ways to mitigate it. The reforestation activity was implemented on 27 January, which was also the 100th anniversary of the creation of the Albanian Forestry Service (27.01.1923). The planted trees are native to the area, and will contribute to the carbon sequestration and combat soil erosion.
