Mali me Gropa-Bizë-Martanesh Protected Landscape to the east. The park is marked by an extremely fragmented, rugged topography which creates favourable conditions for a great diversity of ecosystems and biodiversity
.

Geology

Dajti from the east

Pellumbas Cave located in the Skorana Gorge, which has been formed by the river. Another natural attraction is the Shëngjini Waterfalls located near Shëngjergj
village.

Flora and Fauna

Dajti's varied geology and topography have resulted in a variety of

scrubland and heath, myrtle and fragaria. Oak dominates at around 600-1,000 m altitude interspersed with beech and maple forests and some conifers
above 1,000 m altitude. The rocky top has little vegetation.

Forest fires and deforestation

In the 2010s, deforestation has become a major problem on the mountain. In the summer of 2012 and spring 2019,[7] forest fires burned down 10 ha of forests at the Priska summit and partially Dajti in 2017, requiring authorities to extinguish it only with the help of helicopters.[8] The damage was extensive at the summits and can be clearly seen from Tirana.

Forest fires are happening more frequently every year, while those responsible are not being convicted.
