✦ Synopsis

Tunisia is a North African country undergoing rapid development. It has a range of environmental problems including soil erosion, desertification, sedimentation and reduction in biological diversity that are partly caused by the climate and compounded by development processes such as industrialization, urbanization and population growth. Consequently, Tunisia is suffering from the inevitable conflicts between environmental protection on the one hand and sustainable development on the other. The background to the development of environmental protection in Tunisia has been reviewed. The potential impact of new environmental legislation and awareness on the environment has been appraised based on observations gathered during field visits in 1996 and 1998. The majority of the field sites have provided positive examples for the Tunisian environmental programme.
