he Libyan Society for Birds, in collaboration with the Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, University of Tripoli, conducted a field study to the Wadi Targat area in Qara Boully on Saturday, 9 November 2024.

Graduate students enrolled in the Wetland Ecology course also participated in the field study. The visit included introductory lectures on the different habitats in the area, from the wadi’s extension to its confluence with the sea, as well as the forested environment, highlands, and sand dunes with shrub vegetation. Together, these features form a unique wetland area at Wadi Targat.

It was observed that the area suffers from pollution, particularly plastic waste and littering.

The study focused on exploring effective protection measures and proper management strategies for the site.

The organizers extend their sincere thanks to the Movement Department at the University of Tripoli and to all who contributed to the success of this field study.
