Isaak Mountain is a peak in the Babor Mountains range of the Tell Atlas in Algeria, located in the municipality of Tizi N'Berber in the Aokas District.[1]
Isaak Mountain is the third highest mountain peak in Béjaïa, at 1,742 m (5,715 ft), right after Babor Mountain 2,004 m (6,575 ft) and Takintosht 1,874 m (6,148 ft), overlooking the eastern Gulf of Béjaïa, and the Soummam Basin, and facing the Babor Mountains and the Djurdjura Mountains.[2]
It is offset by Takintosht in the south of the Soummam Basin, and Yma Quraya Mountain in the west of the Béjaïa Bay, where the city of Béjaïa was established.[3]
The summit of the mountain can be reached via a single national road, National Road 75.[4]
The mountain overlooks the municipality of Aokas and the municipality of Tichy, among other coastal municipalities.[5]
The Barbary macaque is found near Isaak Mountain, and sometimes ventures out into roads and populated areas to ask for food.[17]
The Algerian government has taken several measures to protect this endangered animal.[18] For example, signs are posted in places where the animals are found to prevent people from feeding the monkeys, as some of the foods people give the monkeys can lead to their death. Also preventing them from owning them for breeding purposes.[19]
The Algerian government has also initiated the creation of several nature reserves where large numbers of the species are found, such as the Taza National Park and the Goraya National Park overlooking the Bay of Bejaia, as well as the Djurdjura National Park.[20]
