Abstract

Various studies, among them geographical ones, like the application of the new concepts on the Natural Heritage, since 1990, helped in the construction of the biodiversity protection strategy, which served as a basis for providing legal support conservation and management of Natural heritage for identifying and proposing new protected sites, which now accounts around 16% of the territory of Albania and are represented by the six categories of protected areas provided by the IUCN. Studies continue to expand about the protected areas and preparation of their management plans. In this context, particular importance have the studies of the natural heritage for particular regions of the country. Our article has the object of study of Natural Heritage of the region of Elbasan,concentrating mostly on the natural momuments of this region.

Different studies among them and geografical ones after 1990 in Albania,helped in the construction of the strategy for the protection of the biodiversity that served as the basis for providing legal support conservation and management of natural heritage, to identify and propose new protected sites, which accounts for around 16% of the territory of Albania and represented by the six categories of protected data by IUCN: 2 strictly protected reserves, 15 national parks, 697 natural monuments, 22 natural reserves managed, 5 protected landscapes, 4 managed resource areas and 1 regional park..
