Talassemtane National Park

Talassemtane National Park

Talassemtane National Park is a national park in the Rif region of Northern Morocco.

The 589.5-square-kilometre (227.6 sq mi) park was created in October 2004 to conserve the last of Morocco’s threatened fir forests.[1][2]

The park is also the site of other endemic plants like the endangered Atlas cedar. The Bearded vulture and over 100 other birds have been observed at the park.[3]

Talassemtane is part of the Transcontinental Biosphere Reserve of the Mediterranean.
