Protected areas of Libya include any geographical area protected for a specific use. Most protected areas are intended for the conservation of flora and fauna. Libya's national parks and nature reserves are maintained by the "Technical Committee of Wildlife and National Parks" which was created in 1990, as part of the General Secretariat of Agricultural Reclamation and Land Reform.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Parks, Reserves, and Other Protected Areas in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya )〕〔Auzias, Dominique and Labourdette, Jean-Paul (2008) ''Le Petit Futé Libye'' (2nd edition) Petit Futé, Nouvelles éd. de l'Université, Paris, France, (page 27 ), ISBN 978-2-7469-2276-1〕 Areas may also be protected for their value and importance as historical, cultural heritage or scientific sites. More information on these can be found in the list of heritage sites in Libya. There were no national parks or protected areas in Libya prior to the Libyan coup of 1969. The new revolutionary government began to designate national parks and nature reserves in the 1970s. By 2009 seven national parks, five nature reserves and twenty-four other protected ares had been established, mostly along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.〔Davies, Ethel (2009) ''North Africa: The Roman Coast'' Bradt Travel Guides, Chalfont St. Peter, Buckinghamshire, England, (page 326 ), ISBN 978-1-84162-287-3〕 Among the most visited of these areas are Karaboli National Park, El-Kouf National Park, Benghazi Nature Reserve, and Tripoli Nature Reserve along the coast, and Zellaf Nature Reserve in the southwestern desert. ==Benghazi Nature Reserve== The Benghazi Nature Reserve is located north of the city of Benghazi about 14 km on the Mediterranean coast. Known for its migratory waterbirds, the reserve includes a stretch of beach dunes and salt marshes, as well as the Ayn Zayanah Lagoon. The lagoon is fed by a number of freshwater springs and flamingos winter over there. Despite its protected status, the area is also used for fishing and recreation. In a number of places garbage has been illegally dumped in the reserve. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Protected areas of Libya」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
