PPNEA is an esteemed non-governmental environmental organization in Albania, operating throughout the country. Established on June 5, 1991, PPNEA was the first environmental organization in Albania, born during a period of socio-economic turmoil and environmental neglect. Over the past three decades, PPNEA has become experienced in nature conservation, biodiversity, environmental education, and promoting sustainable lifestyles.

PPNEA has played a significant role in raising awareness about nature protection through radio broadcasts, documentaries, and various events. The organization has also collaborated with national and regional organizations, organizing seminars and conferences to strengthen the role of civil society. PPNEA is an active member of environmental coalitions in Albania and has made a considerable impact on environmental policies and decision-making.

With a strong focus on wildlife conservation, PPNEA has been actively involved in preserving critically endangered species such as the Balkan Lynx.
