Background
Despite the fact that the Seman region is one of the most fertile areas in Albania, the human actions for the last 20 years has compromised its integrity. Existing settlements with their related activities represent a risk for the whole area, its farming potential and people’s health. Preserving the remaining integrity and restoring as much as possible the environment characteristics, has to be a priority for national and regional Governments' strategies as well as for basin's inhabitants.
