The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has declared Lake Skadar National Park one of 14 new biosphere reserves.

As they stated, these territories represent living examples of how people and nature can thrive together – through protecting biodiversity, supporting sustainable development, and strengthening local communities.

"This year also brings several significant milestones: three countries received their first biosphere reserves - Montenegro, Timor-Leste and Aruba, with the entire territory of Aruba being declared a biosphere reserve," UNESCO said.

The Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Northern Development (MERS) said that they welcomed with great pride and joy the news that UNESCO has included the Skadar Lake basin in the World Network of Biosphere Reserves.

"This is a historic moment for Montenegro and another strong confirmation that the wealth of our nature is recognized and appreciated at the highest international level," MERS said in a post on the X network.

As they pointed out, Montenegro possesses exceptional natural resources that deserve protection, preservation and responsible management.
