Σχόλιο για τις απειλές-διαταραχές
Τρωτότητα The threats and impacts for the Flora and Fauna are described in 6.1. The degradation of the site is due to: 1) Illegal hunting; 2) Over-grazing, locally; 3) Winter tourism: it causes disturbance of the wild life and a reduction of the available habitats; 4) Expansion of road-building: in a way, it facilitates illegal hunting.
