In this lecture, several points will be highlighted while highlighting the balances avian populations (RS, H ', on how and why to initiate a new academic journal. The E), the structure of the flagship species of these ecosystems: North African Journal of Food and Nutrition Research will an inventory of the diversity of waterbirds, their phenology, be presented as an example.
