Eritrea is a small country on the east coast of Africa covering an area of 124, 320 sq. kilometers. It shares its northern border with Sudan, its southern border with Djibouti and Ethiopia.
Eritrea is divided into 3 main geographical zones; the western lowlands, the fertile farming central highland region, and the eastern escarpment and coastal plains. The eastern part of the country is mostly desert and is home to one of the most hostile & hostile regions on earth, Danakalia. Northeast of Asmara you will find a tropical woodland. Over 350 tiny islands dot the waters of Eritrea's Red Sea coast, over half of which make up the Dahlak Archipelago.
Eritrea's wildlife includes wild cats, Abyssinian hares, jackals, warthogs and gazelles, plus over 500 species of birds. Occasionally you can see elephants and lions (in the west) and o
ryxes and crocodiles. Underwater life in the Red Sea includes magnificent coral reefs, dugongs and turtles. Sadly, due to the war and the resulting destruction of habitats, almost every animal in Eritrea now faces extinction within the country itself.
Every country has its own delicate eco-system. So be responsible while you are appreciating the beauty. If you are in the desert, the rule is v Pack it in, Pack it out. If you are in a protected park, stick to the trail. Wandering away can cause unforeseen damage to the delicate plant and animal life. Be conscious of things like water consumption, proper waste disposal, and turning off air-conditioning units when away from your room. Water is a precious commodity in the desert regions.
In the Red Sea, do not feed the fish, do not collect or remove any material either living or dead, and do not touch the coral reef with any part of your body including your fins! Thanks to a growing number of dedicated environmental agencies, there is a greater knowledge of Reef Protection awareness.
