	Chott el Djerid, Tunisia
		Within Tunisia the string of chotts begins in the west with the Chott el Rharsa and is continued by the Chott el Djerid (110km/68mi long by 70km/43mi wide) and its eastern offshoot the Chott el Fedjadj (90km/56mi long by up to 20km/12.5mi wide), which together form the largest salt lake in the Sahara (7,700sq.km/2,975sq.miles).
		Within this region are the two largest areas of oases in Tunisia: to the north the Bled el Djerid around Tozeur, Nefta, El Oudiane and El Hamma, to the southeast the Nefzaoua oases round Kebili and Douz.
		In spring the Chott el Rharsa and Chott el Fedjadj are a favored breeding ground for flamingoes, who fly in from northern Tunisia, build their nests, produce and rear their young and then fly off again at the beginning of July.

		Viola writes that "Chott el-Djerid is the name of a vast dry salt lake in the Tunisian Sahara desert where mirages are most likely to form in the midday sun.
		Here, the intense desert heat manipulates, bends and distorts the light rays to such an extent that you actually see things which are not there.

		It may be a few centuries since a thousand camels and their drivers were lost there in one day, but until the new road was completed, a careless motorist could pay the ultimate penalty for losing his way there.
		And although I can reassure you that the Toilette de Mirage is not in fact a mirage, almost everything else is, from the tents and fishing boats on the horizon to the weird shimmering lakes that love to tease the newcomer’s vision.
		Mirages are, of course, incidental to the crossing of the Chott el Djerid, which remains the only way of reaching those two legendary oases Tozeur and Nefta.

		Two other reserves, Oued Dekouk (Tataouine region) and Dghoumes (north-east of Chott el Djerid), will be able to take Sahelo-Saharan species; 3 oryx which passed through the Sidi Toui national park have already been settled in Oued Dekouk.
		This is true of sites such as the El Aguer reserve, in the Affolé massif, which is scheduled for rehabilitation in the near future and is therefore a suitable site for reintroducing Dama Gazelles and oryx.
		Detailed surveys need to be carried out in Majâbat el Koubra which is thought to contain the last large population of addax; surveys will also be needed in potential reintroduction sites such as Guelb er Richatt or the area set to become the Tilemsi reserve.
