REMOTE SENSING ANALYSIS OF THE CHANGES IN VEGETATED COASTLAND: THE CASE OF SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE

We show areas for extending current protected areas and creating new ones for endangered sub-species of the Lynx lynx martinoi in the Albania–Macedonia–Kosovo and Montenegro–Albania–Kosovo cross-border areas. Our results highlight the importance international cooperation can have for lynx conservation. We used local knowledge on forests in the study area, our analytical skills, and our full interest in the lynx conservation. We did this study working remotely.
