Σχόλιο για τις αξίες | The region of Metsovo-Anilio-Katara Pass-Piges Aoou shows floristic and phytogeographical connections to both south and north Pindos. The plant taxa listed in section 3.3 are more or less endemic to the wider area of the Pindos mountain range, S Albania included. Only a few of them have been listed in the Hellenic Presidential Decree 67/1981 (motivation D) but they should all be considered as "Rare" and deserves the appropriate protection as they are definite phylogenetic and phytogeographical elements of the Hellenic flora. The plant species included in the "Other Important Species of Flora and Fauna", (section 3.3) have been marked with motivation D for the following reasons: Balkan endemics: Orobanche rechingeri occurs in C and SW Greece and SW Anatolia, and is the only known serpentine endemic among the parasitic flowering plants of Europe, which is also listed in the Greek Presidential Decree 67/1981. The occurrence of the Brown Bear Ursus arctos and other species of Annex II of the Directive 92/43/EEC (see section 3.2), together with Other Important Taxa (see section 3.3), indicates the quality and importance of this site's fauna. The bear is a seriously threatened species in Greece (characterized as "Endangered" in the Greek Red Data Book) although it is less threatened in Greece than in other European countries. Among the important species of the site is the dormouse Dryomys nitedula (both motivation A taxa) is mentioned in the Red Data Book under the threat "Rare", respectively. Some taxa are Balkan endemics (i.e., the lacertid lizard Algyroides nigropunctatus and Dryomys nitedula wingei) and this is one of the reasons why these taxa are marked with motivation D. The remaining D-marked taxa along with A. nigropunctatus is protected by the Greek Presidential Decree 67/1981. One exception however, is the hare Lepus europeaus its D classification is due to the general rareness of the former taxon in Greece, and the fact that the latter taxon shows the southwestern end of its distribution range in NW Greece.All taxa recorded with motivation C are included in the Bern Convention. Natrix tessellata is additionally indicated by D since it is mentioned in the handbook of the CORINE-Biotopes Project.The available data indicate that a remarkable fauna, rather characteristic of the meadows and forests of northern Greece, exists in this site. The invertebrate species listed in section 3.3 with motivation C are protected by the Bern Convention. The invertebrate species listed in section 3.3 with motivation D are protected by the Greek Presidential Decree 67/1981.Saturnia pyri is protected by the IUCN Red List and the European Red List of Globally Threatened Animals and Plants and it is included in the "Listing of biotopes in Europe according to their significance for invertebrates". |

Τρωτότητα | Woodworking (mainly furniture) and wood-engraving have for centuries been two of the main occupations of the local residents. This of course is an additional reason for thrashing, apart from the need to collect wood for heating and cooking purposes. Until the 19th century the problem did not seem to be so severe. During the 19th century the liberation war against the Turkish empire, lead to extensive thrashing, not only for the wood itself but also to make it impossible for the enemies to be covered on the great bare slopes. After the liberation from the Turks the destroyed forest was not restored, whilst the rate of thrashing increased. Finally, many fires during the 20th century (some of them during the last decades) caused great degradation to the previously dense Fagus and Pinus forests of the area.Overgrazing is another factor with negative impact. A lot of sheep and cattle graze on the meadows of the site during late spring and summer. The problem becomes more severe during years with less rainfall. People from other areas, usually from northern Greece, or even from Albania or the former Yugoslavia, come south to graze their animals. The constructions being made i.e., the ski centre, tunnel, roads and a rubbish dump, are causing other negative impacts. In some cases, the damage is very localized and some restoration has already been started. In the case of the dump, one negative effect that will probably appear, is the degradation of the native vegetation. The construction of the tunnel has caused noticeable damage, as tree-felling in the area was necessary. Despite that, a good impact is expected as much traffic will be directed underground not only during winter but also during the summer as the tunnel is a short-cut. Overgrazing and hunting constitute the main threats to the fauna of the site. Road construction also causes serious damage to many habitats by destroying their continuity. |
