As part of the Engaging the Local Community in the Restoration of Tawergha Wetland project, implemented by the Libyan Bird Society in collaboration with the Tawergha Municipal Council, a comprehensive awareness program was held on Wednesday, October 23, 2025. The initiative aimed to enhance environmental awareness regarding the threats of plastic pollution and its negative impacts on ecosystems.

The program included a field campaign to collect plastic waste in the Ain Tawergha area, with active participation from the Tawergha Scout Group. An educational discussion session was also conducted for Cubs and Scouts to introduce them to the environmental consequences of plastic pollution on wildlife and to highlight practical solutions for reducing plastic use and ensuring its safe disposal.

At the end of the event, the Libyan Bird Society expressed its sincere appreciation to all participants from the Tawergha Scout Group for their positive engagement and contribution to the success of this environmental activity. Special thanks were extended to Mr. Saleh Al-Qadi, Head of the Tawergha Municipal Council, for his continuous support of the project, as well as to Mr. Mokhtar Shartil, Director of the Entrepreneurship Office in Tawergha, for his efforts in coordinating and supporting environmental awareness initiatives in the city.
