Dojran Lake in North Macedonia is a crucial bird sanctuary and is on the brink of inclusion in the EU's Natura 2000 network, which safeguards important natural areas. This potential protection could help preserve its rich biodiversity, which includes numerous migratory birds. The delay in securing this designation raises concerns about the lake's future amid increasing development pressures. Ensuring its protection is vital for maintaining ecological balance and supporting conservation efforts in the region.
