Atlas Cedrus Network, together for the cedar forest of the Atlas

An associative collective, complementary expertise and a shared commitment to the sustainable preservation of the cedar forest territories.

More than a Biosphere, the Moroccan cedar territory is the living base of a socio-ecological area bringing together three provinces: Ifrane, Khénifra and Midelt. Spread over close to 1,350,000 hectares, the territory today faces the challenges of climate change, overgrazing and the scattering of local initiatives. Out of that necessity Atlas Cedrus was born: a network carrying the shared voice of local initiatives, to coordinate their action and to build a common knowledge infrastructure serving the preservation of the cedar forest.

Three lines of action

  1. Territorial intelligence

    Producing and sharing a fine-grained knowledge of the socio-ecological dynamics of the cedar forest.
