Upcoming Climate Talks / Forum France-Egypte “Ecosystems at Risk: Safeguarding Egypt’s Biodiversity”, that will take place on March 12 at the Youth Leaders/Civic Education Center, National Council for Youth, Al Borg Street in Zamalek from 6.30 onwards.
The discussion will focus on the environmental and economic importance of conserving flora and fauna. Preserving rich ecosystems is not a luxury, but an essential part of tourism, medical advances, food supply and other basic needs. Egypt’s varied habitats encompass the Nile Valley, deserts, oases, mountains, brackish and saline wetlands, and two distinct marine environments.
Its strategic location as a land bridge between Africa and Eurasia make it a major host to migratory birds, with an estimated 1.5 million birds moving twice a year through this flyway. The reefs of Egypt, home to more than 250 species of coral, are also one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world.
Like other populations, both birds and corals are at grave risk from activities such as hunting, rampant development, habitat destruction, poorly managed water treatment and greenhouse gas emissions.
Our experts from Egypt, France and Germany will address local and international initiatives to protect wildlife, foster ecotourism and raise awareness on biodiversity issues.
Please RSVP on coordinator@cairoclimatetalks.net before March 7
