Killing of wildlife for taxidermy purposes continues to remain an widely spread phenomenon in Albania. This has had a considerable impact in the population of different species, particularly the ones being rare and protected. PPNEA has initiated an awareness raising campaign against this illegal activity. The first one to show a great example of awareness rising on this issue was “Bar Edi” in Orikum (Vlore) and “Bar Restaurant Kapiteni” in Saranda, who removed the stuffed birds and placed the paintings. This initiative is supported by CEPF, BSPB, ACE Foundation and RAPA Vlore
