The Divjakë-Karavasta National Park continues to attract visitors with its rich biodiversity, wetlands and rare bird species. In 2026, the park remains an important destination for nature tourism and birdwatching in Albania.
At the heart of the Karavasta Lagoon lies the Pelican Island, an important nesting site for the Dalmatian pelican, one of Europe’s rarest waterbirds. The species remains a key focus of conservation efforts in the area.
The lagoon covers around 4,300 hectares and provides an important habitat for large numbers of waterbirds, particularly during the winter season.
Moreover, local specialists continue to work on protecting wildlife and raising environmental awareness. Educational activities help younger generations learn about the flora and fauna of the park and understand the importance of protecting its natural habitats.
Birdwatching has also become an increasingly popular form of tourism in the area. International visitors, particularly from Northern Europe, come to Divjakë-Karavasta to observe rare species and experience its unique wetlands.
In 2026, the park continues to combine conservation, education and tourism, highlighting the importance of protecting Albania’s natural heritage for future generations.
