Lake Ichkeul, located in the National Park of Ichkeul, in northearn Tunisia, is the last remaining freshwater lake of a chain that once stretched across the northern areas of the vast African continent. On 9 May 2017, ARCWH visited the park, inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1980, to study the lake as a crucial stopover point for migratory birds (waders and waterfowl) who feed and nest in the area. ARC-WH studied several areas of the park, as well as the surrounding areas of the lake, to assess the park’s current environmental status.
