Algeria is the largest country in Africa, so it is considered by many observers as a biodiversity hotspot. Due to its geographical location in the middle latitudes very favorable, it overlaps on a huge transition between continents. The history of Algeria in general remains relatively unknown, mainly on the side of the fauna where we are facing lack of knowledge especially for some taxa little known. In addition to being indisputably a real crossroads between Europe and Africa, Algeria with its climate more than diversified, is characterized by very varied environments, see even very modulated, which implies from the stationary scale to the scale of the country, the existence to a great mosaic of landscapes and a wealth in terms of plant and animal biodiversity. This diversity is expressed at the level of structure of biocenosis by the specific richness by far the most abundant at least at the level of North Africa.the country is endowed with a consequent ecosystemic richness in particular at the level of the wetlands, with in particular about fifty sites classified Ramsar.
