As part of strengthening scientific and research cooperation, the Libyan Society for Birds, in coordination with the Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science – University of Tripoli, conducted a field study in the city of Tawergha on Saturday, April 26, 2025. The aim was to document and study the biodiversity of the wetlands in the area.

The field program included the participation of researchers and students from both undergraduate and postgraduate levels (Master’s and PhD), particularly those enrolled in the Ornithology course. During the study, several species of resident and migratory birds using Tawergha wetlands were identified, with a special focus on highlighting the ecological importance of these sensitive natural habitats.

On the sidelines of the visit, a joint meeting was held with the head of the Tawergha Municipal Council branch and office directors, during which prospects for cooperation were discussed regarding future scientific research and projects aimed at the conservation and sustainable management of wetlands in the region.

The Libyan Society for Birds extends its sincere thanks and appreciation to the head of the Tawergha Municipal Council branch for the warm reception and support provided, and acknowledges the efforts of the Department of Movement, University of Tripoli, for facilitating the logistics of the research team’s fieldwork.
