Abstract
After addressing the subject of conservation of Moroccan and African rangelands, in this work we try to linkage these lands on a global scale. With the pandemic of COVID-19 and the impacts of climate change these rural populations have suffered great problems. Their weak or absent means of resistance pose a real handicap to live in peace. The only way is to migrate to places where they can continue with their cattle this battle of life or death. On the other hand and from the point of view of natural resources, these lands have immense power to manage a whole community by the richness of these medicinal plants and their soils. Due to the lack of interest in these areas, there is a risk of losing an entire ecosystem rich in fauna, flora, habitat, nomadic population and traditions. In this work we propose many recommendations: natural, socio-economic, cultural and public health.
