As part of its efforts to enhance environmental knowledge and field-based learning, the Libyan Society for Birds, in collaboration with the Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science – University of Tripoli, conducted a field visit to the Al-Malaha wetland at Mitiga, Tripoli, on 12 December 2013. This unique wetland is considered an important stopover site for waterbirds.

During the visit, participants were able to observe and monitor a variety of waterbird species. They also recorded ring codes on Greater Flamingos (Phoenicopterus roseus), which provide valuable data on their migratory routes and the long distances covered during their movements.

On this occasion, the University of Tripoli and the Libyan Society for Birds extend their sincere thanks to the authorities at Mitiga Air Base for their cooperation, warm reception, and facilitation of the visit, which greatly contributed to the success of this scientific and educational activity.
