Resumen
Descripción
Albania is a small, mountainous country located in south-eastern Europe facing the Adriatic Sea, with an exceptionally rich biodiversity. Most of the population lives in rural areas, where agriculture represents the main income source and poverty is much higher than in the capital city, Tirana. The steep topography makes the country more vulnerable to extreme climate-related events and land degradation. Soil loss via water erosion in Albania is higher than in most countries of the region and has had a significant negative effect on the carrying capacity of pastures and agricultural yields.
