Dibeen entrance fee controversy
The increase in entry fees to the Diban Forest Reserve from two dinars to five dinars has sparked debate among visitors. The supervisors justify the hike by stating that it aims to protect the environment and reduce pressure on natural resources, especially during peak times. The additional revenue helps fund the management operations of the reserve, including preserving biodiversity, cleanliness, and maintenance. However, the decision has faced criticism from visitors who see it as an added financial burden on families, with insistence that the fee is more of a contribution to conservation rather than an actual cost. The administration has also taken measures to preserve the natural regeneration of the trees, such as closing certain areas and installing fences, in order to protect the forest cover from increasing environmental pressures.
