Prespa shelter a unique biodiversity in the Balkan. The meeting of soils based on Granit stone and limestone, around two deep and old tectonic lakes create condition for high diversity. Moreover the human management of the wetland until the late 70s increased this diversity.

Nowaday, although some damages have been done to this richness due mainly to the abandonment of the ancient pastoral and farming practices, and the development of bean monoculture, Prespa still host some highly interesting natural features.

Bitterns (Botaurus stellaris / Ixobrychus minutus)
Water Rails (Rallus aquaticus)
Great White Egrets and Purple Herons (Ardea alba / A. purpurea)
Glossy Ibis (Plegadis falcinellus)
Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysaetos)
