Taza National Park, situated in Algeria's Jijel Province, represents a crucial protected landscape where the Tell Atlas mountains meet the Mediterranean Sea. This 3,807-hectare national park is celebrated for its dramatic coastal cliffs, extensive cork oak and gall oak forests, the largest in Algeria, and its designation as a UNESCO biosphere reserve. The park's geography facilitates unique habitat zones, making it a key area for atlas-based discovery of North African biodiversity, including the Barbary macaque and Algerian nuthatch, within a landscape of exceptional natural beauty and conservation priority.
