CARACTÉRISATION DE LA FLORE DE LA FORÊT D’ACHEMECHE POUR UN AMÉNAGEMENT INTÉGRÉ ET UN DEVELOPPEMENT TERRITORIAL DURABLE DE LA COMMUNE RURALE DE RAS JERRY / PROVINCE D’EL HAJEB /MAROC

The forest of Achemeche is the indispensable support of the framework of life and of the natural resources of the rural commune of Ras jerry, it constitutes the back country of the territory which our major objective is to integrate it into the integrated management and sustainable territorial development of the commune. The diversity of its flora is located weakened more and more because of the significant pressures due to human and urban activities, a state of knowledge of its plants and its remarkable wildlife in a prime time will allow us to provide scenarios for their preservation, conservation and valorisation in a sustainable manner

ETUDE FAUNISTIQUE DE LA FORÊT D’ACHEMECHE PROVINCE D’EL HAJEB/ COMMUNE RURALE DE RAS JERRY /MAROC

This faunistic study of the site Ait Oukhlfen 1 of the forest of Achemeche is situated in the rural district Ras Jerry; joins the framework of integration of biodiversity during the process of sustainable territorial development. This study allows us to identify several heritage species (endemic, rare, and threatened) including 5 reptiles, 5 mammals and 7 birds. Obviously, referring to the Moroccan Strategic Studies, regulations includes the Law 22-07 on the establishment areas of strict confidentiality, national biodiversity study, and finally the red list of the International Union of Conservation of Nature (IUCN

Conservation assessments and Red Listing of the endemic Moroccan flora (monocotyledons)

Morocco constitutes an important centre of plant diversity and speciation in the Mediterranean Basin. However, numerous species are threatened by issues ranging from human activities to global climatic change. In this study, we present the conservation assessments and Red Listing of the endemic Moroccan monocotyledons according to International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) criteria and categories. For each species, we include basic taxonomic information, local names and synonyms, uses, a distribution map, extent of occurrence, area of occupancy, population size and trend, a description of habitats and ecological requirements, and a discussion of the threats affecting the species and habitats. We assessed the threatened status of the endemic Moroccan monocotyledons at the species level (59 species) using the IUCN Red List criteria and categories (Version 3.1). This study shows the high extinction risk to the Moroccan monocotyledon flora, with 95% of threatened species (20% Critically Endangered, 50% Endangered, 25% Vulnerable) and only 5% not threatened (2% Near Threatened and 3% Least Concern). The flora is thus of conservation concern, which is poorly recognized, both nationally and internationally. The study presents the first part and so far the only national IUCN Red Data List for a large group of Moroccan plants, and thus provides an overview of the threatened Moroccan flora. This IUCN Red List is an important first step towards the recognition of the danger to Moroccan biodiversity hotspots, conservation of threatened species and the raising of public awareness at national and international levels
