Algeria: Oil and gas licences overlap with protected natural areas

Oil and gas exploration licences in Algeria overlap with more than 20 protected natural areas, raising biodiversity and environmental protection concerns.

Investigations show that oil and gas licences, particularly those held by Sonatrach, overlap with 23 protected natural areas in Algeria, including Ramsar wetlands, UNESCO biosphere reserves, and other protected zones. The total overlapping area covers about 5,450 square kilometers, calling into question Algeria's compliance with international biodiversity and environmental protection commitments pledged under agreements such as the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the Ramsar Convention.
