In celebration of World Wildlife Day 2026, the Association for the Protection of Wetlands and Vegetation Cover in Ouargla, Algeria, organized an online awareness and training session on sustainable aquaponics as a nature-based solution to reduce pressure on fragile Saharan wetland ecosystems.
In arid regions, unsustainable agricultural practices and overharvesting of wild plant species can threaten biodiversity and natural habitats. This initiative highlighted how integrated aquaponics systems can serve as an environmentally responsible alternative by promoting water efficiency, reducing dependency on wild plant collection, and supporting local food resilience without degrading natural ecosystems.
The event emphasized the importance of linking sustainable agriculture with biodiversity conservation, contributing to global efforts to protect wildlife and native plant species.
