the Algerian Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development stated on Sunday, May 30, 2022, that it was decided to temporarily stop the production of coal as part of the measures to prevent forest fires.

This activity poses risks to the forest fabric, especially with the advent of summer and rising temperatures.

Accordingly, the forest authorities have been assigned to ensure strict respect for the aforementioned procedure, and any violation of this instruction will expose its owner to penalties in accordance with the legal texts in force.
