Name | Complexe des zones humides des Chott el Guetayate et Sebkhet Dhreia et Oueds Akarit, Rekhama et Meleh |
Country | Tunisia |
Description | Intertidal marshes situated in an estuarine coastal environment including beaches and bluffs, crossed by several valleys extending to the Gulf of Gabes. The site supports several waterbird species including the Eurasian Curlew (Numenius arquata), Northern Shoveler (Anas clypeata) and Dunlin (Calidris alpina). Several fish species have been identified here, including migrating species such as the IUCN red-listed catadromous European Eel (Anguilla anguilla), estuarine fish species such as the South European toothcarp (Aphanius fasciatus), and marine bivalves. The diversity of habitats encourages the presence of a rich plant diversity including halophytes, perennials and annuals as well as dense tamarisk forests. Its main hydrological values include groundwater recharge, water retention and flood regulation. Main land uses include agriculture and fishing, and it is an important archaeological and cultural site with great historical value. |

Name | Complexe Guerbes-Sanhadja |
Country | Algeria |
Description | A large coastal plain between the hills of Skikda and the forested massif of Chetaībi near Cap de Fer, including the delta of the Wadi El Kebir. Amongst the characteristic dunes can be found a multitude of depressions and valleys forming lakes and(garaas) (marshes) from a few to several dozen hectares in area, on a plain that is described as a (bioclimatic crossroads) including sub-Saharan and European as well as Mediterranean characteristics. In addition to its significant biological diversity, the site is important for migratory birds (especially as a nesting place for Oxyura leucocephala and Aythya nyroca) and fish and eels. Human uses include agriculture (especially tomatoes and melons) and grazing; potential threats include unmanaged agricultural expansion and runoff and waste-water from upstream villages. |

Name | Complexe Lac de Tunis |
Country | Tunisia |
Description | A coastal brackish lagoon surrounded by intertidal marshes, in close proximity to the city of Tunis. As a central wetland in the Gulf of Tunis, the site receives sea and inland water from surrounding salt flats. It is a good nesting ground for several waterbirds and wintering ground for migrating species such as the Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus) and the Northern Shoveler (Anas clypeata), as well as over 6% of the wintering population of Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus) in the West Palearctic biogeographic realm. It has a seasonal algal cover and supports over 138 species of aquatic fauna. Mammalian fauna include rodents and several bat species, and it is an important source of food, spawning ground, and nursery for several fish species. The main human activity carried out is fishing, regulated following the protected status of the adjacent Chikly nature reserve. |

Name | Dana |
Country | Jordan |
Description | This first Jordanian biosphere reserve includes a system of mountains and wadis (riverbeds in desert areas which remain dry unless it rains heavily) extending from the top of the Eastern Rift Valley to the lowlands of Wadi Araba. The representation of different bio-geographical zones and the dramatic changes in elevation results in a very high biodiversity and a complex set of land cover types. The reserve hosts globally and regionally important species, like the cyprus warbler (Sylvia melanothorax) and the sand fox (Vulpes rueppelli) as well as the endemic syrian serin (Serinus syriacus) that live in a Mediterranean Oak forest. Birdlife International has designated the region as an important bird area. Moreover, the biosphere reserve contains a relict cyprus forest (Cupressus sempevirens), a rare habitat type of the region. |

Name | Dayet El Ferd |
Country | Algeria |
Description | A permanent endorrheic depression with brackish water, surrounded by pastures and cereal fields and situated between two mountain chains. It plays a very important role for wintering waterbirds, especially waders, having hosted an average of more than 20,000 birds between 2003 and 2005. The Ruddy Shelduck is the species which best characterizes the site as it spends the whole year there, while all of the Anatidae (ducks, geese, and swans) and grebes present in Algeria occur at this site. It was once the site where taxes paid by caravans were collected; today it hosts a weekly market, which makes it an ideal site for combining ecotourism and scientific and cultural research. There are plans to transform the site into a nature reserve to be linked to the National Park of Tlemcen. The only activity taking place in the surroundings is agriculture, with some water extraction from the lake. |

The site is part of a coastal limestone promontory just north of Beirut, amid the highly-developed narrow coastal plain between Beirut and Tripoli, and is described as (a mosaic of woodland and olive groves). The site is significant because of its position as a coastal headland on the Middle East bird migration route: notable bird species include the White Pelican and Purple Heron. The presence of submarine freshwater springs off the coast at Ras Chekaa is thought to enhance the biodiversity of the waters here. Of historical and cultural interest is the convent of Deir el Nouriyeh. The main agricultural use of the site is the cultivation of olives. |
