The episode discusses the socio-political implications of heritage and environmental protection in Zvërneci, Albania.
In a time when natural spaces are under strong pressure from controversial economic interests, Zvërneci, as both a concrete case and a symbolic representation of this socio-political condition, raises fundamental questions about how shared heritage is understood, used, and protected. More than a natural landscape, Zvërneci is a space where history, collective memory, biodiversity, and the ways of life of local communities intersect. It invites reflection on the relationship between economic development, environmental protection, and citizens’ right to preserve common goods. How is Zvërneci interpreted in the context of rapid economic and urban transformation? What is lost when nature and heritage are primarily treated as resources for exploitation? And how can development models be built that simultaneously respect ecosystems, history, and the public interest? The conversation brought together diverse perspectives on natural and cultural heritage, environmental justice, collective memory, and the challenges of protecting shared spaces in contemporary Albania. _______________________________________ Në një kohë kur hapësirat natyrore janë nën presion të fortë nga interesa…
