In the last two years, CEPF has supported the capacity building of five organizations in five different priority KBAs in Northeastern Tunisia in order to create an eco-tourist trail in the region. This project aims to optimize and promote the final product of CEPF-AAO. The final circuit will be identified and tested. The required period of visit, accommodation at each site proposals, and suggesting places to provide local products will be identified.
