The project area is environmentally important considering the presence of certain marshlands characterized 2.1 Presentation of the project area by a complex ecological dynamism. This inventory of the biodiversity was carried out between November 2015 and February 2017 during the prenuptial and the postnuptial passages, the reproduction period, the wintering of the birds and the activity The project area is located mainly on the course of the Medjerda river and its surroundings. Mainly, at the of the reptiles, the mammals and the insects. mouth of the artificial lake of the “Sidi Salem dam”. We counted: The construction of the dam in 1982 created a wetland that, over the years, extended over more than 400 hectares. This contributes greatly to the ecological dynamics of the Medjerda river and constitutes a rich reservoir of the biodiversity. The zone of study belongs to the public domain; it is under the supervision and the control of the Directorate of dams and water attached to the Ministry of Agriculture. the area is shown on the map below (fig. 1) 187 species of birds: 59 28 species of mammals 14 species of reptiles An undefined number 13 types of habitats: sedentary, 33 nesting, including a dozen bats. and 6 amphibians.

This work covers neither all of the scientific aspects neither all of the species nor all of the habitats present in the studied area, but it gives a preliminary state based on observations on the ground, operations of capture and of recapture, samplings and on the main features of the project area. This work was achieved over a period of approximately 18 months.

A taxon is presumed Extinct when exhaustive surveys in known and/or expected habitat, at appropriate times (diurnal, seasonal, annual), throughout its historic range have failed to record an individual.

Species were collected using different methods namely, handpicking on vegetation, handpicking on the ground, handpicking under stone, light trap, bait trap and sweep net sampling. Sampling took place at two weeks’ intervals during the years of 2008 and 2009. At the end of this research, three species belonging to three families of Mantodea were specified. Those are Empusa fasciata Brullé, 1832 (Empusidae), Iris oratoria (Linnaeus, 1758) (Tarachodidae) and Mantis religiosa (Linnaeus, 1758) (Mantidae). Sweeping net is the effective method (40.48%)in sampling and light trap (35.71%) method followed it. All three species were sampled in both years. E. fasciata was sampled in March-May, while I. oratoria was sampled in March-December and M, religiosa was sampled in June-November. Among those species Iris oratoria was the most abundant one.
