[[Tassili n'Ajjer]] ([[Berber]]: "plateau of chasms") is a mountain range in the [[Sahara]] desert in southeast [[Algeria]]. The majority of the range is protected in a [[National park]], [[Biosphere Reserve]] and [[World Heritage Site]], named the '''Tassili n'Ajjer National Park'''. The area also has one of the most important groupings of [[prehistoric]] cave art in the world, comprising over 15,000 drawings and engravings which record the climatic changes, animal migrations and the progress of human life on the edge of the Sahara from 6000 B.C. to the first centuries of the Christian era. The geological formations, with eroded [[sandstone]] forming "forests of rock" are of outstanding scenic interest.<ref>''Protected Areas and World Heritage'' World Conservation Monitoring Centre [http://www.unep-wcmc.org/sites/wh/tassili.html United Nations Environment Programme]. Accessed 13 January 2008.</ref> Although continuously settled for 8000 years, the population, made up of the nomadic '''Kel Ajjer Twareg''', is sparse, currently (2008) being at most 1,000.
