For many decades, research on the distribution of butterflies in Albania faced significant challenges due to the country's prolonged isolation. However, this situation has gradually improved, and in recent years, Albania's growing appeal as a tourist destination has opened new opportunities for entomological research.
To date, two atlases have been published, but in a country that was previously underexplored and is now experiencing more comprehensive study, these printed documents quickly become outdated upon publication.
A dynamic website with up-to-date data helps address this issue, though it remains essential to maintain a timestamp for each version in an official repository. The third version of the Atlas, which includes all observations up to 31.12.2024, is now available in the Zenodo repository, with plans for annual updates moving forward. This Atlas will also serve as the foundation for a new assessment of the Albanian Red List of butterflies. |

This paper explores the significant evolution of three Red Lists for the Papilionoidea in Albania (2006, 2013, and 2022) in comparison to the latest status of the Fluturat e Shqipërisë Atlas (09.ii.2025).
This marked evolution underscores the need for effective species monitoring that minimizes bias and maximizes both the quantity and quality of data collected, moving beyond sole reliance on opportunistic field research by entomologists and biodiversity repositories such as Inaturalist and Observado. This need is particularly relevant as Albania rapidly develops into a Western-style, economically driven country, facing threats akin to those seen in new EU member states in past decades, which have experienced significant declines in butterfly populations and distribution.
Providing standardized and regularly updated status indicators is essential for guiding conservation efforts, enabling swift adaptation to emerging challenges in protecting endangered butterflies and their habitats. |
