The regeneration of Atlas cedar is very sensitive to grazing due to extensive stockbreeding, if not impossible. Regeneration has to be protected and farmers organized into associations have to be compensated for areas that are off-limits to grazing. A legislative text on the subject was therefore drafted. Compensation is provided with 250MAD/ha/year (soon 1000MAD), to be financed by the association in the form of development actions on its Pastoral Park in consultation with the water and forestry department.

Thanks to the Ifrane National Park, stockbreeders are currently organized into ten associations comprising 1,127 stockbreeders who receive a total of 205,3750MAD. The regeneration of the cedar is evolving more and more. They are working together on income-generating projects involving ecotourism, rangeland management, agro-ecology, water, etc., with the involvement of young people and women, bearing in mind that the ultimate goal is the regeneration of the cedar and the conservation of its ecosystem.
