Endangered and exceptional: New insect species highlights Kosovo biodiversity hotspot

A new species of caddisfly, Tinodes lumbardhi, was found in a sidestream of the Lumbardhi i Deçanit River in Kosovo's Bjeshkët e Nemuna National Park. The discovery, made by Professor Halil Ibrahimi of the University of Prishtina and his research team, underscores the region's high biodiversity and urgent need for conservation.
