==Flora and fauna== [[File:Towards Jabllanice Mountain.jpg|thumb|300px|left|Much of the district is mountainous.]] There are 1,857 species of flora in the district representing 57% of the total species of flora inhabiting Albania. Forests cover 47% of the district of which 37% are populated by [[oak]], 20% [[beech]] and 15% [[pine]]. The remainder is made up of shrubs and other foliage. 15% of the [[herbaceous]] flora in the district fall within the group known as ''Balkan Flora'' and are particular to this part of Europe. Amongst the herbaceous plants the most notable species endemic to the district are [[Leontopodium alpinum]] and [[Sideritis Rhoeseri]]. Of particular interest is a carnivorous plant species called [[Pinguicula hirtflora]] (known locally as ''Luletlyni''). The forests and mountains of the district are populated with [[bear]] ([[Ursus arctos]]), [[wild boar]], [[red fox]], [[hare]], and supposedly the [[Balkan Lynx]]. Birds include eagles ([[Aquila chrysaetos]] and [[Gyps fulvus]]), [[buzzard]]s ([[Nephron pesnopterus]]), [[falcon]]s ([[Falcao tinnunculus]]) and the owl ([[Bubo bubo]]).
