Tunis: The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) North Africa office launched a call for consultancy to conduct a comprehensive fauna assessment in GSraa Sejnane. GSraa Sejnane is a key biodiversity zone in Mogods, a mountain range in northeast Tunisia. The inventory is intended to help develop an initial action plan to safeguard Eurasian otter populations in Tunisia, said the WWF. One applicant civil society organisation will be selected. It will be tasked with conducting detailed field surveys in GSraa Sejnane so as to compile a comprehensive fauna inventory while focusing on the Eurasian otter. Likewise, the selected organisation needs to draw up a scientific report on the current state of biodiversity in GSraa Sejnane, put in place an action plan on the conservation of the Eurasian otter and organise a workshop on the scientific monitoring of biodiversity for local actors.
