| Σχόλιο για τις αξίες | The quality and importance of the site should be assessed in view of the fact that it is an area close to the urban centre of Athens that supports fairly well conserved natural ecosystems, most importantly forests. The formations of Abies cephalonica are at a good conservation status and the Pinus halepensis forests create a natural environment of great aesthetic value and of utmost ecological importance due to the proximity of the site to the west part of Attica, which is an area heavily aggravated by the existing industrial activity.Although the number of the habitat types present in the site is not impressive, a significant number of endemic plants exist in the area. Mount Gerania is the only biotope of the endangered local endemic species Centaurea attica ssp. megarensis (Centaurea megarensis), which is included on Annex II of the Diresctive 92/43/EEC. Its populations are small and scattered, under considerable pressure from overgrazing by sheep and goats (Morgan & Leon, 1992).OTHER IMPORTANT SPECIES WITH MOTIVATION DPlantsThe endemic species Stachys spruneri are protected by the Greek law (Presidential Decree 67/1981) and included in IUCN (rare species). In addition, Stachys spruneri is included in CORINE and National Red Data Book, characterised as rare species. The endemic Achillea umbellata is included in the CORINE Checklist of threatened plants.ReptilesLacerta trilineata is included in Annex IV of the Directive 92/43/EEC, it is strictly protected by the Bern Convention and by the Greek law (Presidential Decree 67/1981). Also the species Ablepharus kitaibellii is included in Annex IV of the Directive 92/43/EEC and it is protected by the CITES, while it is strictly protected by the Bern Convention.InvertebratesZerynthia polyxena, a species in need of special protection (Speight M.C.D., 1989), is included in Annex IV of the Directive 92/43/EEC and it is protected by the CITES, by the Bern Convention (strictly protected species), and by the Greek law (Presidential Decree 67/1981). |

| Τρωτότητα | The main threats within the site have been described in section 6.1. However it must be mentioned that these impacts are mainly modifications caused by human activities. The most important threat for mountainous site of Gerania is the man induced fire. An additional pressure is imposed by grazing and overgrazing, which have a negative effect on the natural regeneration of the forest ecosystem. Also remarkable is the trend of rapid changes in land use, i.e. the discontinuous denuding of land of its original vegetation for the establishment of industrial or commercial areas, or even for houses. The uncontrolled disposal of household waste or inert material in various dumping places is an other important threat factor, which is also considered a secondary cause of fire events. Within the site the uncontrolled hunting and pointless extinction of animals consist a main threat for the fauna species. |
