Ohrid-Prespa Transboundary Biosphere Reserve, Transboundary biosphere reserve between Albania and North Macedonia.

The Ohrid-Prespa Transboundary Biosphere Reserve covers 446,244.52 hectares of Lake Ohrid and Lake Prespa and the mountains around them, in North Macedonia and Albania. It was declared on 11 June 2014 at the UNESCO commission session in Jönköping, Sweden, on a proposal from the Lake Ohrid Bilateral Secretariat and the two countries' UNESCO commissions and environment ministries. Its ecosystems run from mountain zones down to temperate sub-tropical forests at lower altitudes around the basins.

The reserve was declared on 11 June 2014 at the UNESCO International Co-ordinating Council session in Jönköping, Sweden. The proposal came from the Lake Ohrid Bilateral Secretariat together with the UNESCO national commissions and environment ministries of North Macedonia and Albania. It covers 446,244.52 hectares across the two countries.

The reserve's roughly 455,000 residents live only in its transitional zones, in settlements described as demographically stable, while Ohrid, Struga and Pogradec absorb thousands of seasonal visitors. In Albania, farming remains the main local activity, joined by food processing centred on Korçë, and in the Resen area small family farms have given way to large orchards. Forestry and stockbreeding remain important in the mountainous parts, and fishing on both lakes carries ecological and economic weight.

Explore the area through hiking, birdwatching, or visits to archaeological sites scattered throughout the region. The reserve spans two countries, so plan which sections you want to visit and research access points beforehand.

Lake Ohrid holds over 200 endemic species, five of them confined to microecosystems within the lake itself; ten of its seventeen fish species are endemic, among them the Ohrid trout (Salmo letnica). The Macedonian pine (Pinus peuce) forms endemic forest stands in the reserve. The Balkan lynx (Lynx lynx martinoi) survives here and carries high symbolic value.
