        Thanks Mourad. Please let me know when it is finished and how to buy it so we can let the mammalwatching world know. I have never been to Algeria but would love to visit one day.

        I am interested if you have completed this book? If so I would really appreciate if you would like to share as I am currently interested in going to Algeria.

        Thank you so much!
