VOICED: Deforestation threatens Balkan biodiversity

The video discusses the threats to Eastern Europe's forests, particularly in Romania, due to illegal logging, unauthorized building, and fires. It highlights the importance of national parks as biodiversity havens and the challenges posed by private forest ownership. The Romanian government is attempting to reverse deforestation through regulation and incentives. However, construction projects like ski stations pose additional threats. The video also covers regional efforts in Croatia, Macedonia, and Serbia to combat deforestation through replanting programs, though these efforts will take decades to show results.
