Evening - Emergency plan for fire-affected animals
The Minister of Environment and Quality of Life, Koether Kriko, announced the launch of an urgent program to protect wildlife affected by the recent wildfires that swept through several states, in coordination with the relevant authorities. The program includes providing water, food supplies, and veterinary care for the injured animals, while efforts are also underway to rehabilitate the natural areas impacted by the fires. Preliminary assessments have revealed damage to several species, including the Barbary macaque, the red fox, and Greek tortoises, with reports of fatalities and injuries, which pose a risk of extinction or displacement for some of these species. Additionally, damages have been identified in reserves such as Taza in Annaba and Idoug in Skikda. A comprehensive damage assessment is currently in progress in collaboration with environmental experts, along with the development of a field plan that includes the scientifically-based rehabilitation of the affected areas to ensure their sustainability.
