Ayyash Senoussi-Algeria

"Through this film, I wanted to draw attention to the fact that the Sahara of Algeria is not only a land of gas and oil, but also a habitat for rare animals and birds that even the competent authorities are unaware of. Unfortunately, many of them are extinct and human." In this way, young Radwan Taheri began his speech to Al Jazeera Net about his adventures in the desert of the Saoura region to explore its wildlife.

After three years of adventure and wildlife exploration deep into the Saoura region (southwestern Algeria), 41-year-old Radwan Taheri has documented a unique image of this world in this vast region of Algeria. But part of this article - Posted on his Facebook page, was a surprise.

He says that "despite my interest in the environment for years, my gift to it was so small that until about a year ago I was guided to the idea of ​​transferring my environmental activity to virtual reality, to my perception that it is the only way to draw attention to the region's precious and invaluable treasure. To strike the alarm because of the risk of extinction and human aggression by indiscriminate fishing. "

"I filmed and published a three-minute clip, including some of the wildlife on my Facebook account, and I was amazed when I returned five hours later to watch it, and I found that the number of views exceeded half a million, accompanied by hundreds of letters, environmentalists, journalists and ordinary visitors from Algeria And from other countries, it values ​​work. "

Amazing biodiversity
Our chronicle, followed by wildlife in three years, sporadically enables him to document an enormous picture of this world, including an important discovery of a number of rare animals and birds, and water dogs, living only in rivers.

He also documented fierce battles between the animals. He also documented the presence of Atlas Ghazal, Ghazal Al Maha, Reem, Greer Honey and several types of hedgehogs, adding that this experiment allowed him to make sure that Al-Ala'al was his native Algeria. Millions of years ago.

"When you roam the desert to stop in the oasis of the suburbs of Taghit near Bashar
(Thousands of miles south-west of Algeria) you find a beautiful blue bird does not live without fish, your mind stops to restore its calculations, as happened in the land of arid arid when we passed the punishment of a fish, although this type of birds live only on fish. "The fish in the oasis live in small eyes and are located in the Saoura region, especially Sauert."

Hopes and pains
After my account Facebook and YouTube, the owner of "The Lost Land" is looking to broadcast his film on television to enable the Algerians and the world alike to learn about his country's treasures.

"Desert Conservation Fund", a non-governmental organization dedicated to protecting plant and animal diversity in the world's deserts, noted last year that it "highlights the enormous biodiversity in this part of Africa and draws attention also to ecosystems Amazing desert ".

"All this interest makes me happy, but what hurts me is that my country's authorities ignore me, even though the work concerns entire sectors, such as culture, the environment, agriculture, and ecotourism," he said.
