Balkan lynx is a majestic animal that lives in the Eastern Albania and the western part of North Macedonia. There are only fifty left. We well know them as “the big cats, with small chances.” This sad number is proof of the importance of national parks. Aside from protecting rare animals in danger, national parks are an excellent indicator of exceptional natural beauty. After introducing you to the oldest national park in North Macedonia, Pelister and my favorite one, Galicica, read the story of the biggest national park in North Macedonia, Mavrovo.
