We are pleased to welcome you to the 2nd International Seminar on Biodiversity and Natural Resource Management: "Past, Present, and Future", which will take place in the historic and culturally rich city of Tipaza, Algeria.
Tipaza is a coastal city located approximately 70 km west of Algiers, the capital of Algeria. Nestled between the Mediterranean Sea and the slopes of the Tell Atlas, Tipaza is renowned for its exceptional historical heritage, breathtaking natural landscapes, and vibrant cultural atmosphere.
Originally established as a Punic trading post, Tipaza became a Roman colony in the 1st century AD under Emperor Claudius. The city flourished during Roman times and emerged as an important center of early Christianity in North Africa. Today, the archaeological site of Tipaza—designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982—is considered one of the most remarkable in the Mediterranean region. Visitors can explore well-preserved Roman ruins including an amphitheater, basilicas, baths, a nymphaeum, and a forum, all beautifully situated along the coastline.
Tipaza is also celebrated for its natural beauty. Its pristine beaches, scenic coves, and surrounding forests draw both local and international visitors. Beyond its touristic appeal, the city has gained recognition as a hub for academic and scientific activity, particularly in the fields of environmental research, marine biodiversity, and heritage conservation.
