At present, there are 12 national parks in Albania, including almost all types of habitats and ecosystems, the rare and threatened species as well. We meet there more than 70 plant associations, belonging to 20 classes and 23 orders (series). Some of them are characteristic for Albania or the Balkans. 2/3 of the total flora of the country are in the National parks, together with some endemic (1/3 of the Albanian endemic species), nearly endemic and Balkan taxa. Some of the Albanian endemic species are probably only found in the national parks, many of them are reported in the Red Book of Albania. Maybe, in the future, the area of the national parks will enlarge.
