Context piece
- Tunisia’s Association for the Protection of Nature, the Environment and Sustainable Development is working on the Tanit alternative-tourism project in Nefza.
- Its president, Ridha Taboubi, says investment in local people matters more than treating equipment and infrastructure as an end in itself.
In Nefza, protecting nature is being linked to investment in the people who live in the area. The Association for the Protection of Nature, the Environment and Sustainable Development is pursuing this approach through the Tanit project on alternative tourism in Tunisia’s northwest.
The association’s president, Ridha Taboubi, identifies investment in human capital as a central part of its work. He argues that acquiring equipment and building infrastructure should not be treated as an end in itself.
The project therefore places local populations at the center of efforts to develop tourism while protecting the natural environment.
