Abstract

AbstractThe highly persecuted African houbara (Chlamydotis undulata undulata) is thought to persist in Tunisia's arid‐lands. Recent reports have, however, failed to observe the species and concluded that it was on the verge of extinction. We deployed camera‐traps in three of Tunisia's national parks (NPs) that were sites for large scale habitat restoration and mega‐herbivore reintroductions. Sampling was for 20,382 camera days in Dghoumes NP, 14,377 in Jbil NP and 4,006 in Sidi Toui NP. We report one observation of the African houbara in Sidi Toui NP and highlight the benefits of mega‐herbivore conservation for the wider biodiversity of the region.
