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was previously underexplored and is now experiencing more comprehensive study, these printed documents quickly become outdated upon publication.A dynamic website with up-to-date data helps address this issue, though it remains essential to maintain a timestamp for each version in an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.
