Morocco is losing 17,000 hectares of forest each year, a trend ANEF warns could trigger an environmental, social and economic disaster by 2050. To reverse course, the «Forests of Morocco 2020-2030» strategy is entering an acceleration phase, with major reforestation, innovation and local governance projects at its core.
In Morocco, the expansion of forest cover marked a pivotal moment in population dynamics and land use during the Late Stone Age, as demonstrated by a study conducted at the Taforalt and Rhafas caves. Published on Thursday, the findings shed light on the significant reorganization of hunter-gatherer lifestyles in North Africa during the Greenland Interstadial 1 climate interval.
