| Résumé : | For a very long time; the Greater Flamingo Phoenicopterus roseus was deemed to be a wintering species in Algeria. It now breeds in a number of localities in the Hauts Plateaux and the Sahara. A new nesting site, Lake Telamine, located in northwest Algeria, has recently been discovered. This finding reflects the continuous increase in Greater Flamingo numbers in Algeria and underlines the important role of Algerian wetlands in the dynamics of the western Mediterranean metapopulation of the species. |
