description Ichkeul National Park is a hinterland lake area in north-eastern Tunisia. This site has been recognised as a heritage site. It is a biosphere reserve, a UNESCO and Ramsar site, a Tunisian national park, and an Important Bird and Biodiversity Area. In 1996, UNESCO listed the park as an Endangered World Heritage Site due to the degradation of its natural habitats. A series of challenges were identified, and recommendations were made which were only partially heeded. Although the park regained its “Outstanding Universal Value” in 2006, problems remain. The area is studied according to a geohistorical analysis (16th-20th century) with the aim of gaining a better understanding of its evolution and to help identify sustainable land management methods. The documentary sources selected are colonial documentary films, small-scale maps and written documents from the region, large-scale topographic maps, postcards and oblique aerial photographs. This research demonstrates the influence of the period of the French protectorate in the beginning of the transformation of the landscapes and the vulnerability of the Bizerte-Ichkeul hinterland complex.
