Tunisia reforestation and environmental initiatives
Overview
In late October 2026, Tunisia announced a major reforestation campaign scheduled for November. The Ministry of Agriculture, Water Resources, and Fisheries aims to restore approximately 4,400 hectares of forest and shrubland that were destroyed by fires between May and July 2026.
By November 8, 2026, Tunisia marked its National Tree Day with various activities focused on ecosystem preservation and climate change mitigation. In Hammamet, the Association for Relative Environmental Education and My School organized tree-planting events involving schoolchildren to enhance urban biodiversity. Dr. Salem Sahli, President of the Association for Relative Environmental Education, highlighted the importance of cooperation between public, private, and civil society sectors to combat desertification through integrated management projects.
