Algerian Wetlands
Algerian wetlands are diverse ecosystems found throughout Algeria, characterized by marshes, lagoons, and river deltas. These areas play a crucial role in supporting wildlife, including various bird species, fish, and plant life. They also provide essential services such as water filtration and flood control.
Many of these wetlands are located in regions like the Chott Melrhir and the Mouilah Marshes. They are vital for local communities, offering resources for fishing and agriculture. However, these ecosystems face threats from urban development, pollution, and climate change, making their conservation increasingly important.
