After the September 8th earthquake, we temporarily paused our biodiversity and capacity-building projects to provide immediate humanitarian aid to the heavily affected High and Anti Atlas communities, which suffered significant losses and shortages of basic necessities. Once recovery efforts were underway, we returned to our mission, integrating new initiatives to support the hardest-hit areas. These include rebuilding agricultural infrastructure—such as irrigation canals, water reservoirs, and terraces—assisting rural entrepreneurs, and revitalizing livelihoods, all while continuing our broader work in biodiversity conservation and rural development.
