Dadia-Lefkimi-Soufli Forest, East Macedonia and Thrace, Greece
The Dadia-Lefkimi-Soufli Forest constitutes one of the most important protected areas in Europe, since it hosts a variety of habitats such as pine and oak forests, shrublands, networks of streams, pastures and cultivated fields.
Due to these characteristics, the forest presents an ideal habitat for birds of prey: Dadia Forest hosts 36 out of the 39 diurnal raptor species of Europe and 3 out of the 4 European vulture species. Among the latter, the Black Vulture, whose only reproductive colony in the Balkans is to be found in Dadia, constitutes the area’s flagship species.
