Description:
Tunisia, a country on the North African coast, harbors a rich biocultural diversity. From the Mediterranean coastal regions to the dry desert areas inland, Tunisia offers a wealth of different ecosystems and habitats. The flora ranges from fragrant jasmine and olive trees to the hardy plants of the desert, such as the date palm. This diversity is also reflected in the wildlife, from camels and gazelles to a variety of bird species living in the wetlands and along the coasts. Furthermore, Tunisia's rich history and culture shape people's relationship with nature, whether through traditional agricultural practices or the protection and use of natural resources. Tunisia's biocultural diversity is thus an integral part of its identity and an important heritage to protect and preserve.
