-	Outdoor Ambassadors is a project that engages youth in environmental activities in communities around Albania. The environmental problems faced by the nation are acute. Unfettered logging threatens forest habitats and exacerbates soil erosion. Poaching and illegal wildlife trade have caused decline in species populations, and national parks remain unregulated against such threats. Air pollution is beginning to eclipse urban centers, and negligent waste management policies have intensified pollution of arable land. These trends threaten not only Albania’s natural ecology, but its future development. Environmental protection is fundamental to improving the quality of life in Albania, and youth will be the leaders at the crux of its protection for the future.	+	[http://www.outdoorambassadors.org/ Outdoor Ambassadors] is a project that engages youth in environmental activities in communities around Albania.
