History and Perspective of the Local Community Towards the Restoration of the AFENOURIR Wetland, Morocco

The wetland Afenourir, like any other wetlands, offers unique ecological, economic, environmental and social benefits. The abusive use of this area by the local population as has been indiscriminate has therefore been subject to damage. In this matter, in order to clarify the causes behind the degradation of this zone, a socio-economic study is necessary in order to identify the different users of the zone and their synergetic and conflicting context, by highlighting the balance sheet of the interests of each type of users in correlation with the ecological objectives for the planning, decision-making and implementation of heritage management of the environment based on the restoration and conservation of this wetland.
