Earthquake relief action

Following the devastating earthquake on September 8th, we
temporarily suspended our biodiversity and capacity-building
initiatives to focus on the affected High and Anti Atlas
communities. Their severe losses and lack of basic necessities
required immediate humanitarian assistance. We prioritized
helping these communities recover and rebuild before resuming
our mission to support rural livelihoods and biodiversity
conservation.

We have now resumed our mission, integrating empowering
activities specifically designed for the communities most affected
by the earthquake. This approach aims to uplift the Atlas
communities, rebuild what they have lost, and support rural
entrepreneurs who either lost their businesses or became
discouraged due to the disaster.

In response to the devastating earthquake that struck the High and Anti Atlas communities on September 8th, we have temporarily suspended our Biodiversity and capacity-building initiatives. This decision stems from the fact that all the communities benefiting from our work have been profoundly affected by this tragedy. Their livelihoods, homes, mental and physical well-being, livestock, and lands have been severely impacted, leaving them in a crippling state. Moreover, they no longer have access to fundamental necessities like clean water, food, and shelter.

The earthquake has left them in a state of vulnerability and uncertainty, requiring immediate humanitarian assistance to help them recover and rebuild their lives.

During this critical period, our primary focus will be redirected to prioritize these affected communities. We will channel our efforts towards assisting them in getting back on their feet before resuming our mission to support rural livelihoods and promote biodiversity conservation practices.
