In a step that reflects the importance of joint environmental efforts to protect biodiversity on Farwa Island, Bessida Association joined the Ministry of Environment in monitoring wild birds and tracking their nesting areas across the island and its surrounding coastal zones.
These efforts resulted in an important environmental achievement for the first time: the recorded nesting of the Kentish Plover and the Common Redshank, a strong indication that Farwa Island still shelters rare wildlife worthy of protection and care.
These birds do not choose their nesting sites randomly; they seek quiet, clean, and safe environments. This discovery carries a message of hope, showing that conservation and awareness efforts are beginning to bear fruit.
However, ongoing pollution and environmental violations continue to threaten this fragile balance. Bessida Association stresses that protecting the island is not the responsibility of one entity alone, but a shared responsibility that requires everyone’s support to preserve this unique natural heritage for future generations.
“Every small nest in Farwa… is a new victory for nature.”
