A new step forward in the Sustainable Management of the Mediterranean forests and landscapes has been taken with the official signing of the protocol for the Model Forest Initiative in Tunisia. The agreement, signed in Florence, marks Tunisia’s commitment to joining the Mediterranean Model Forest Network, reinforcing regional cooperation in environmental conservation and sustainable development.
This initiative will focus on the Kroumirie-Mogods region, a vital forested area in northwestern Tunisia known for its rich biodiversity and ecological importance. The Model Forest will serve as a platform for sustainable forest management, local community engagement, and socio-economic development.
