The national park of Tazekka - Morocco

established in 1950 on an initial area of ​​680 hectares, the national park of Tazekka main objective was to protect all existing summit of Jebel Tazekka natural resources, especially the forest of cedars (Cedrus atlantica), which is isolated from this peak, away from other Moroccan cedar forests, those of the Middle Atlas, or those of the Rif ...

The diversity of landscapes, forests, fresh water supplies and clean air of the park is for Morocco irreplaceable elements. The Tazekka is the main water source of a whole region downstream provider, it is known as the water tower. But habit is taking a long time to consider the main contributions of the mountain as free: river water, biodiversity reserves and clean air are non-monetary assets. Only mining products once caused a transfer of money that can really affect the infrastructure and equipment of the mining areas. The exploitation of these deposits has not created in the Park as islets of ephemeral prosperity fallen into mediocrity at the end of production and can have negative impacts on the surrounding landscape.

The area of ​​the park was expanded to preserve other natural resources that have remarkable strengths. To the east, a forest of oak undeveloped, interspersed with dry crops and bordered by a large depression where people practice intensive cereal. To the west, a forest of cork oak kitchen, economically important, both for the production of cork and pastoral production.
