"In Algeria, unsustainable exploitation of the steppe is at the root of
desertification. As a result, the steppe is seeing its component change, with
whole areas becoming increasingly degraded, as is the case in the wilayas of El
Naâma and Tébessa, where the Algerian government wants to combat the advance of
the desert. This is why President Abdelmadjid Tebboune relaunched the green dam
mega-project on 29 October 2023.
As part of this project, 1 million hectares of steppe will be reforested, over
a distance of almost 1,500 km long and 20 km wide, between the wilayas of El
Naâma and Tébessa, as well as in several other steppe areas in 183 councils and
1,200 localities in the wilayas of El Bayadh, Laghouat, Djelfa, Médéa, Bouira,
M’sila, Batna, Khenchela, Sétif, Bordj Bou Arreridj and Biskra.
The forestry and agricultural services departments of the 13 wilayas concerned,
together with the High Commission for the Development of the Steppe (HCDS),
will be responsible for implementing this mega-reforestation project, which
will increase the potential of steppe areas in Algeria from 3.7 to 4.7 million
hectares by 2030, i.e. in seven years’ time."
