This paper proposes to explore the possibilities of developing a global system of knowledge and understanding of argan ecosystems
A bibliographic synthesis work has been undertaken at the level of about twenty argan forests totaling an area of 270,000ha and which have been the subject of forest management studies available at the Department of Water and Forests
Summary
The argan tree (Argania spinosa (L), Skeels) is a Moroccan endemic species This forest-fruit and forage tree currently covers nearly 870,000ha in almost continuous mass in southwestern Morocco, representing about 17% of the national forest area. The rural population living directly and indirectly in forest landscapes is of the order of 3 million inhabitants, through the exercise of usufruct rights: argan oil, firewood and service, pasture, plants aromatic and medicinal, etc. For these vulnerable areas, the argan plantation offers employment opportunities for “green jobs” estimated at more than 2 million working days per year, of which 80% is devoted to the extraction of argan oil [1]
