Mehmet Metaj, who has worked in the forest sector for many years, thinks that Lura can still be rehabilitated by taking the seeds of the few plants that have remained and cultivated in Lura.
But, there are also those experts who are quite skeptical about the recovery of Lura’s miracle.
“Lura regenerates if it is surrounded by barbed wire. So if we remove everyone who destroys, if we remove all human intervention and if we wait another 150 years “said Genti Kromidha, Institute for Nature Conservation
It seems that this prediction is very close to the truth. Currently, the Agency of Protected Areas in Debar has only 6 environmental guards for all protected areas of the region, of which two of them protect the park Lura – Mali i Dejës. Due to the rugged terrain an environmental guard can not cover more than two hectares, while the area of this area is 20 thousand hectares.
So to protect this area would need at least 10 environmental guards, which can be considered a luxury. Lura is not the only one who has suffered an injury.
We have been declaring protected areas and national parks for 80 years, and apart from Butrint, they remain so only on paper. Some of them are no longer such from the barbaric destruction, such as Qafë-Shtama, Bredhi i Drenovës, Krastat in Krujë and Krasta in Elbasan, Dajti, Tomorri, Divjakë-Karavastaja, Kune-Vaini, Velipoja, Llogaraja etc. Skanderbeg Mountain is another natural forest that was barbarically cut down.
The Ministry of Environment says that in total there are 282 such spots at the national level, with an area of 8514 Ha, all identified and with ready rehabilitation projects through artificial afforestation.
The Ministry explains that “hot spots” are those areas which have been damaged by losing their functionality “irreversibly” or where regeneration requires a very long time up to 150 years.
