Promote sustainable harvesting and community-based cultivation of medicinal plants to address threats to important plant areas near key biodiversity areas in the High Atlas Mountains. Specific conservation actions will be determined through stakeholder workshops and researching the plant species of concern that are currently harvested from communal lands, forest domains and protected areas in the central part of the Atlas Mountain Conservation Corridor of Morocco.

Strategic Direction: 3 Improve the conservation and protection status of 44 priority key biodiversity areas
