The Earth Ecosystem In The Region Of Gjirokastra

The region of Gjirokastra, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, hosts a unique earth ecosystem that plays a crucial role in protecting the ground, regulating microclimate, and supporting agricultural crops while also fostering tourism. This study highlights the significant ecological potential of the area, which has faced substantial changes since 1990 due to historical, socio-economic, political, and demographic factors. The research emphasizes the urgent need for a multifunctional, sustainable, and integrated approach to ecosystem management to ensure its dynamic development and protect its original and intruding forests. By analyzing these transformations, the study provides insights into the vulnerabilities and opportunities within this heritage site, offering a foundation for future conservation strategies.
