Above 1,000 m it is covered principally in Greek Fir,^[2] grasses and shrubbery, and beneath 300 m mainly farmlands and suburban housing to the east. About 1,000 species of plants can be found on the mountain, including crocus and tulips, and the mountain also provides a native habitat to its red deer (Cervus elaphus), which were known in ancient times.

The mountainous block of Parnitha consists mainly of marbles and schists. The climate is typical Mediterranean with mean annual rainfall exceeding 650 mm. The site is a well forested area, characterised mainly by forests of the endemic greek fir, Abies cephalonica, on fairly poor and dry soil (a habitat type not included in Annex I, with CORINE 91 code 42.18); temperate coniferous forests (mainly Pinus halepensis); sclerophyllous scrub/maquis, mountain grassland, rocky cliffs, springs and streams. Regarding the zonal vegetation of the area, two main zones exist: 1. The zone of Abies cephalonica at the upper parts (starting from 600 - 800 m and upwards), with A. cephalonica forest, also characterised by Quercus ilex formations as well as by the presence of Quercus pubescence, Fraxinus ornus and other high altitude Mediterranean shrubs; and 2. The zone of Pinus halepensis and the evergreen, sclerophyllous shrubs (Quercus coccifera, Arbutus unedo, Phillyrea media, Myrtus communis, Olea europea, Ceratonia siliqua, Pistacia lentiscus etc.) which occur in unmixed communities or understorey vegetation of the pine forests. The area has been characterised as a national park since 1961. The core of the National park is located in the centre of the site and includes the summit area of the mountain. It must be mentioned that habitat type 9540 concerns Pinus halepensis forests.

4.2 Quality and importance
The National Park of Parnitha is a very interesting region regarding biodiversity, suitable to function as a shelter for the protection and conservation of the flora and fauna of southern Greece. Moreover, it has already been designated as a Special Protection Area (SPA) for birds. This is an important area for species associated with conifer forest species and upland scrub. Species of concern include: Emberiza caesia The flora of mount Parnitha is one of the richest in Greece. There have been recorded hundreds of plant species, many of which are endemic or threatened by extinction. It also hosts a variety of animal species, vertebrates and invertebrates, many of them legaly protected at national and international level. In addition, it is the only area in southern Greece where the red Deer (Cervus elaphus) survives. The proximity of the site to the city of Athens in combination to its great ecological and aesthetic value contribute to its significance as an area which has to be studied and protected.

The magnitude of the devastation was unforeseen.
