The <\/span>Mesguina<\/b> forest (near Agadir) is in the Arganeraie biosphere zone, <\/span>a UNESCO World Heritage site<\/b>. Its rich biodiversity offers strong beekeeping potential, thanks to high altitude forests rich in thyme and seaside areas populated by euphorbia. Beekeeping is a significant resource (up to 40% of income) for the inhabitants of this area, <\/span>hard hit by the rural exodus.<\/b>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″ uncode_shortcode_id=”600036″][vc_single_image media=”92066″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”191228″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h5″ text_size=”h5″ uncode_shortcode_id=”196224″]\u00a9 GoodPlanet[\/vc_custom_heading][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_custom_heading text_color=”color-133401″ heading_semantic=”h3″ text_size=”h3″ uncode_shortcode_id=”306215″ text_color_type=”uncode-palette”]Project objective: to promote and develop a sustainable beekeeping industry and raise public awareness of the issues involved in preserving bees[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”181793″]Bees are essential for pollinating flowers, helping to maintain biodiversity and the ecological balance of ecosystems. They also play a vital role in the various life phases of many plant species, both wild and cultivated (impact on the many citrus and vegetable crops in the nearby Souss plain).<\/span><\/p>\n

This project will provide support for beekeepers whose swarms have been severely affected by the impacts of climate change, including several years of persistent drought. It also aims to provide support through capacity-building, particularly in terms of strategy, finance and product development.<\/span><\/p>\n
