Seven species of wild animals have been recorded in their natural habitat in Shebenik National Park by camera traps installed by specialists from the Protected Areas Agency in Elbasan. Among the animals filmed are the brown bear and the Balkan lynx, one of the world’s rarest mammals.
As journalist Fatmir Popja reports, the cameras also captured roe deer, pine martens, wild boars and badgers. This variety of species reflects the protected area’s biological richness. The sightings also provide important information about the condition of natural habitats and point to an ecosystem rich in wildlife.

The data collected show that the number of individual wild animals recorded in the park has also increased. The documentation of the Balkan lynx is particularly significant. This endangered species plays an important role in regional biodiversity, and its survival depends heavily on the protection of large forest areas.
The recordings also include the brown bear, one of the largest mammals in forest ecosystems. Continuous monitoring aims to provide a fuller understanding of the presence and distribution of wild animals while supporting their protection.
The footage collected by the camera traps reaffirms the exceptional natural richness of Shebenik National Park and its importance as one of the areas contributing to biodiversity conservation in Albania.
