Importance of valuing Natural
Capital
To ensure our PAs are supported we need to
understand and explain these values and benefits
to a wide range of audiences

PA BAT methodology is simple structure adapted for

Dinaric Arc region

By asking local people about the values they

consider important we get ideas and solutions to
improve wellbeing and quality of life

Albanian protected areas conference, Tirana 11-12

Steps in implementing PA BAT

1. Adapt PA-BAT methodology for Albania

2. Site-based data collection from PA staff and
experts (participatory workshops)
