Setif, Algeria – Forestry agents in Ain Kebira and Beni Aziz, Setif province, have launched a commendable initiative to protect local bird populations. The effort involves distributing grain within the Tamenout Forest, aiming to provide sustenance to birds struggling to survive after recent heavy snowfall in the region’s highlands.
The initiative comes as the area experiences harsh winter conditions. The significant accumulation of snow across vast stretches of forest land has made it increasingly difficult for birds to find their natural food sources. Forestry officials recognized the urgent need for intervention to support these vulnerable creatures.
The action has been widely praised by local citizens and social media users alike. Many have expressed their gratitude for the forestry agents’ dedication to maintaining the ecological balance and protecting the diverse animal species inhabiting the forests.
Tamenout Forest is a vital protected natural area within Setif, boasting a rich biodiversity of birds and small animals. Initiatives like this are crucial to ensuring the continuation of life within the forest, particularly during the most challenging periods of the year. The agents involved are hoping it will make a significant difference.
This intervention highlights the ongoing efforts to safeguard Algeria’s natural heritage and promote environmental stewardship. DZWatch will continue to report on similar initiatives aimed at preserving the country’s unique ecosystems.
