the bacilla of Galačnik in Mavrovo. They are at these meetings discussed the problems faced by shepherds and their needs, to be the main guardians of the protection of the environment in the mountains At these meetings, protection issues were discussed of biodiversity, endemic plants, illegal interventions, the care of wild fauna, fire protection and response, hospitality of tourists, but also the inadequate movements of the 4*4 armored motor vehicles that damage them pastures, as well as the protection of the environment from plastic waste. At these meetings it was also discussed the shortcomings and legal-administrative conflicts in pasture management, which creates uncertainty among the users of the pastures and affects the work of the shepherds who do not have time and knowledge for bureaucratic questions. We cannot remain without mentioning and thanking the generous traditional hospitality of the family of Mr. Nejbedin Haliti and his wife in Shipkovica especially for tasting the warm wild mountain tea, as well as Mr. Vase and Mr. Taulanti in Galačnik with sheep sour milk and fresh cheese, which add value and beauty of the nature of these mountains.
