Support the creation of site support groups to enhance the dialogue between site managers and local communities and develop a methodology adapted to the North African context to improve wetland management based on the use of bird indicators. The Fondation Tour du Valat project focuses on eight important wetlands in Tunisia, Morocco, Libya and Algeria, from the salted marshes on the shores to high altitude lakes in the Atlas Mountains.
