Following the success of our first One Health Garden for Aromatic and Medicinal Plant in the argan forest developed with the One Health Maroc association that we co-founded, a second garden has been launched in the cedar forest in Azrou.
The cedar forest in the atlas has been recognized as a Unesco Biosphere Reservce, since it holds around 75%of the world population of cedar trees. The area also holds important wildlife populations including macaque monkeys. The One Health Garden of Aromatic and Medicinal Plants will enable young generations to discover and learn about the extraordinary biodiversity of this unique ecosystem which symbolizes resistance to climatic change.
As climate change is now accelerating and intensifying, ensuring the transmission of unique and vital traditional knowledge about biodiversity is critical for the future of young generations.
