TRIBES IN MAURITANIA AND THEIR FASHION
Mauritanian traditional dress is consisted of light clothing to protect the people against the sun and as well as the sandstorms. The women traditional dress in Mauritania is called Melahfa, while the men traditional dress is called Daraa or boubou, and they wear it with sandals made from gazelle skin. Most Mauritanian women also use Melhafa not only as a traditional dress; but as hair cover because of religious reasons. The Darras are mostly blue, black or white and they are perfect when the weather gets very hot because the wide cloth allows air to move around.

ENIVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION AND HABITAT PROTECTION IN MAURITANIA
According to the United Nations. Food and Agricultural Organization, 0.2% or about 242,000 ha of Mauritania is forested. Mauritania had 21,000 ha of planted forest. Change in forest cover occurred between 1990 and 2010, Mauritania lost an average of 8,650 ha or 2.08% per year. This loss can be attributed to biodiversity in this predominantly arid country which offers important habitat for wildlife including migratory birds, as well as repositories of medicinal plants. There are also several zoos in Mauritania, where wildlife is protected.

EFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN MAURITANIA
The most obvious effects of climate change on the land ecosystem in Mauritania is desertification and its consequences. In fact, the disappearance of the vegetation gives rise to the movement of the sand and badlands, depending on the type of substrata. Mauritania has experienced significant droughts and projections related to climate variations and climate change are even more dire, with these conditions leading to more severe droughts with extreme climate conditions. Flooding will also occur and sea levels rise, hence the importance of protecting the country from such adverse effect. The situation in Mauritania is sufficiently alarming to warrant urgent action.
