Protection and Preservation of Natural Environment in Albania (PPNEA) is a non-governmental environmental organization that operates in the entire territory of Albania. PPNEA is known to be the first environmental organization in Albania, as it was officially established on June 13th, 1991, with a special decree of the Albanian Academy of Sciences at the time. It emerged in a period of turmoil and socio-economic change in the country and the wider region - a time where environmental issues were looked down upon and given marginal priority in governing and policy issues. Following its creation, PPNEA established as a highly active organization, participating in and organizing many environmental awareness campaigns in Albania as well as undertaking a vast array of different projects with focus on various environmental issues. PPNEA is particularly concerned with conservation and sustainable development issues and its main areas of interest are wildlife management and endangered species conservation, local sustainable projects and initiatives and landscape conservation.
