Resumen
Descripción
Montenegro is a mountainous country situated in Southeast Europe along the Adriatic Sea, on the Balkan Peninsula. The diversity of the geological base, landscape, climate, and soil, created the conditions for high biological diversity, putting Montenegro among the «hot-spots» of European and world biodiversity. Smallholder farmers rely heavily on traditional agriculture practices for their livelihoods. Abandonment of ancient farming systems has caused an overgrowth of abandoned agricultural lands by shrubs and trees. National experts of the LDN working group established that the main driver of degradation are wildfires. Water erosion is particularly severe in the north of the country.
