摘要

The Macta marshes in Algeria are facing increasing environmental pressure. This study investigated the impact of climate change on waterbirds in the Macta over a decade (2014–2024). We combined bird surveys with satellite data and climate analysis. Results revealed a drastic loss of surface water (98.97%) associated with declines in bird populations. 50 species were identified, dominated by Anatidae and Scolopacidae. Statistical analysis revealed a decline in bird abundance concomitant with drought p < 0.001. These findings underscore the urgent need for adaptive conservation strategies in the Macta wetland.
