Biodiversity Introduction in the Tozeur Monoculture Palm-Groves
The project of "Biodiversity Introduction in the Tozeur Monoculture Palm-Groves " has a principal objectives to found the bio diversity in the oases target in:
- Diversifying the varieties of date palms
- Introducing species fruit-bearing autochtones and adapted to the conditions of the area
protection of the palm plantations against the stranding by installing breezes winds containing common varieties and of pollinating of date palms
