The effects of global warming are already being felt in Morocco, and are set to worsen, threatening tourism both directly and indirectly.
The reintroduction to semi-free range of a species of oryx extinct since 2000 is one of the wildlife conservation programmes run by Eaux et Forêts.
Respect for the environment and ecology go hand in hand with clean water and beaches, as is the case for the 25 beaches that have been awarded the Blue Flag this year.
Global warming is set to have a major impact on Morocco, where summers have been hotter for several years now and rain has been scarcer.
A rally is, by definition, a polluting event, which is why they are looking for a green endorsement. Our experience this year with the 4L proves that this is just green-washing.
The 4l Trophy claims to be environmentally friendly, but with its carbon footprint and the massacre of the dunes every year, it's doubtful. We may collect rubbish, but we pollute more seriously.
Morocco is going green, with numerous projects focusing on clean energy (solar and wind power) and the preservation of natural areas. What remains to be done is to develop the organic food chain.
Ecology is underdeveloped in Morocco, and 'ecological awareness' is not widespread... Between wasting water and non-recycled rubbish, where does ecotourism fit in?
For the sake of animals and to protect endangered species, snake shows should be banned. But how can this be done?
