Biodiversity is a broad term used to describe the richness of the natural environment. It refers to the variety of plants and animals, of the natural habitat in which they live and reproduce, or even of their genes. Biodiversity interacts with the natural environment and creates the ecosystems that support living organisms \u2013 such as humans. From the foothills to the mountain peaks, Mt Psiloritis is covered by an environmentally invaluable mosaic of biodiversity, acknowledged on a European level.<\/p>\n

Many of Mt Priloritis\u2019 flora species have adapted to the grazing, such as the chasmophytes that grow on rocky mountain sides and are the hardest food to reach for the animals. Other species such as the cephalanthera are not always protected by nature and run a greater risk from the intensification of grazing.<\/p>\n

Shrublands, rocks, grasslands and forests constitute the environment where herds live and find their food. The co-existence of these diverse natural elements creates vegetation units with various features, depending on the climate and elevation, as well as the degree of livestock farming. Vegetation units are known as habitat types and are protected by the NATURA 2000 European Network.<\/p>\n

The mountain tops and sides of Mt Psiloritis are home to a number of impressive birds. More than 150 species, permanent residents, or visitors, fill the sky over the mountain. At least 20 of them are raptors or scavengers, such as the Bearded vulture (Gypaetus barbatus), the Griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus), the Golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos), the Bonelli’s eagle (Aquila fasciata), the Lanner falcon (Falco biarmicus), the Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus), the Eleonora’s falcon (Falco eleonorae) and the Montagu’s harrier (Circus pygargus).<\/p>\n
The great number of species is due to the vast variety of habitats (and their alternation), as well as the geographical location of the Mt Psiloritis massif.<\/p>\n
The chasms and the rocks, as well as the higher and lower shrublands help many of the above-mentioned raptors find food, nest, and reproduce.<\/p>\n
