Field Trips for Environmental Conservation

On World Wetlands Day, the University of Arabi Ben Mhidi, coordinating with the Environmental Department in Oum El Bouaghi, organized a scientific field trip to Lake Ourkis in Ain Fakroun. The trip was intended for students in scientific clubs under the sub-directorate of cultural, scientific, and sports activities, including the Bio Art Club and Green Eco Star Club. The province governor attended the event, the provincial people’s council president, the forest governor, and primary school students. During the field trip, participants learned about the area’s nature, grasped key biodiversity concepts, and contributed to a substantial tree-planting campaign near the lake.
