Jabal Olba Reserve Urgent Protection

Jebel Elba Protected Area, located at the southernmost tip of Egypt, is considered one of the country's most important environmental treasures and showcases unique biological diversity. It is home to approximately 500 plant species and 25 mammal species, in addition to hundreds of bird and marine species. Covering an area of nearly 25,000 square kilometers, the region features an extraordinary ecological diversity, highlighted by the phenomenon of fog oasis that supplies water to the vegetation cover. Despite its immense value, the protected area faces threats from illegal gold prospecting activities, resource shortages, and lack of funding, which necessitate the urgent launch of a national program to protect and sustainably develop it.
