To mark the International Day for Biological Diversity, the Libyan Society for Birds (LSB), in cooperation with the Department of Zoology at the Faculty of Science – University of Tripoli, conducted a field visit to Farwa Island in coordination with the BESIDA Association for the Protection of Farwa Island and Lagoon.

The visit included observing activities under a plastic waste removal project that supports the conservation of Farwa Island’s ecosystem. The project is implemented by BESIDA with technical support from LSB and funding through the PROZHUM Project for the Conservation of Mediterranean Wetlands.

Participants also visited the Sea Turtle Conservation Center and learned about ongoing efforts to protect wildlife and preserve coastal ecosystems.

The visit highlighted the importance of biodiversity conservation and strengthened collaboration among local organizations working to protect Libya’s unique natural heritage.

We extend our sincere thanks to the BESIDA Association for their warm welcome and continued commitment to conservation.
