A few years ago in the country was created the Ministry of environment and steady developments which included the nature protection legislation in national strategy of developments, called not simply to provide steady development the countries, but also is essential to increase quality of life, carrying out programs for environment protection, doing it pure and safe.
Some of examples of this strategy:
the Cleared water which leaves the Tunisian treatment facilities, is processed in such a way that brings benefit to environment, irrigating numerous golf courses Governorate of Tunis, roadside decorative plantings, city parks, cotton fields and nonfood cultures.
Governorate of Tunis often faces a problem of Desert Sand which from the South constantly interfere in arable lands in the north. Initiatives of fight against desertification include landing of wind-shelter strips, stabilization of sandy dunes and drainage of lands which became salted as a result of excessive use or misuse again to make them arable.
Within the educational program the Ministry of environment developed an animation mascot - Labib is a long-eared desert fox who for the Tunisian children became a symbol of cleaning of beaches, planting of trees, separate collecting garbage in containers and water and electricity preservations.
Are carried out programs for development of new ecological routes not only along the coast where tradionno and so there come many tourists, but also in the regions removed from the sea. The biggest project – It is expensive Waters from Zaguan to Cartago. This route emphasizes genius of human thought of times of the Roman era when the Emperor Adrian ordered to provide Cartago with drinking water from flowing sources of the mountain Governorate of Zaghouan. This decision gave a green light to creation of the largest network of aqueducts for water transportation during the Roman era. Now "It is expensive Waters" unites some thematic stations along a route from the Water Temple in Zaguane to tanks in Cartago. The main objective of this route it is not simple to show ancient Roman heritage in Governorate of Tunis, but also to draw attention to an important question of developments methods of use and water utilization.
