If u have desert in Morocco, we have thousands of mountains here in Indonesia and very rich with endangered species and trees. People...not always the poor people..have illegally exported the species to animal collectors abroad, so not only due to poverty, but the greediness of the wealthy people have also ruined our jungles, created horrible landslides and reduced a great number of our endangered species and force them to flee and died!!!
This is always the issues in developing countries.
Lucky u because people and the government work hand in hand in Morocco to preserve the Argan forest by introducing the way such as cooperatives, to improve the social and economic status of rural women while at the same time protecting the environment . Nice article to read!!!
