In northern Tunisia near the shore of the Mediterranean Sea, the lake and wetlands of Ichkeul National Park are an important stopping-over point for hundreds of thousands of migrating birds each year
Among the lake’s visitors are ducks, geese, storks, and pink flamingoes. The park is on the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO) list of World Heritage sites, and since 1996, the park has also been on the group’s List of World Heritage Sites in danger
Dam construction on the lake’s feeder rivers has produced major changes to the ecological balance of the lake and wetlands
