A team of 15 Nature Guides offers educational nature and cultural interpretation and guiding services to visitors of Prespa National Park. All of them are local dwelling ladies and gentlemen, who were provided with a tailored training programme considered to be unique in the respective field in terms of comprehensiveness and intensity so far in Albania. This training programme according to international standards was part of the project “Transboundary Biosphere Reserve Prespa – Support to the National Park Prespa in Albania”, funded by KfW Development Bank on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development for the Albanian Ministry of Environment.
