Dajti National Park (Albanian: Parku Kombëtar i Malit te Dajtit) is a national park established in 1966 in central Albania, spanning an area of 293.84km2 since 2006. The park is 40km west of the Adriatic Sea and 26km east of Tirana. It is adjacent to Shtamë Pass National Park to the northwest, Kraste-Verjon Protected Landscape to the west, and Mali me Gropa-Bizë-Martanesh Protected Landscape to the east. The park is marked by an extremely fragmented, rugged topography which creates favourable conditions for a great diversity of ecosystems and biodiversity. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has listed the park as Category II. The park has been recognised as an Important Plant Area of international importance by Plantlife. Lately, deforestation has become a major problem on the mountain. In the summer of 2012, an intentional fire burned down 10 ha of forests at the Priska summit and was extinguished only with the help of helicopters.
