Morocco is the most forested countries of the Maghreb . Mountainous
regions facing the Atlantic are covered with forests (9.8 p. 100
territory) , including large tracts of cork oaks, oaks , junipers ,
cedars, firs and pines that benefit rains
of autumn and winter , but droughts , more and longer in the South,
this fragile vegetation subjected to fire, logging and soil erosion . Cropland occupy almost all the plains ; Moreover , scrub predominates. Under the plain , near the southern border, there is a large argan forest , endemic spiny North Africa. The vegetation in the wadi valleys pre-Saharan is identical to that of the arid region; in the oases , vegetables and fruit trees thrive in the shade of date palms .Morocco, at the crossroads of Europe and Africa , has a diverse fauna. Roman
mosaics of Volubilis indicate the presence of elephants, now extinct ,
and lions , the last specimens were still living in the Atlas in the
nineteenth century . We
still encounter species such as fox, rabbit , otter and squirrel , but
