The argan tree not only sustains the local people of South-West Morocco, it is also key to the local ecosystem. But its miracle oil, known as 'liquid gold', is now a must-have for Western cosmetics and the booming demand is destroying the forest. "Without that tree, the whole population will migrate to the cities to find work." With no simple solution in sight, the scramble for profit poses a bleak future for an ancient way of life.

The background music does not quite really fit Morocco. It has a more Middle-Eastern taste to it, which is never to be heard in Morocco

[@materre1662]

Morocco is totally mediteranean in it's culture and music not meaddel eastern

Les coopératives doivent absolument investir dans la production de plant d'arganier et en planter, quelques 500 plant par cooperative par an est necessaire pour la regeneration de l'arganeraie

[@roserose9618]

[@krisztiankovacs6377]

They should specially water every tree to make them bigger.

[@abdelhamidahlouch6149]

It is wrong not from goats droppings !!! Goats throw it from the mouth after chewing the skin of the argan fruit.

Every culture has its trees. Some more unique than others. Morocco isn't an Arab country. Yet, they teach them Arabic. They know how to destroy a culture with Arabic don't they.

[@shameempeer5825]

Bloody ignorant, Arabic language is their mother tongue, what do you expect them to learn? English, French, Spanish??? Then for sure you'ld be a satisfied woman!!!

[@adonmu5834]

If the official language of a country is Arabic, then learning is in Arabic. Arabic is a beautiful and advanced language, many languages borrow terms from it, English borrowed numbers from Arabic, that did not destroy English, did it now?

[@azulamazigh2789]

@@shameempeer5825 you must be deaf, because they are clearly don't speak Arabic. there language is Tamazight and teaching them Arabic first is clearly a plan to arabize them and it's clearly working.

[@azulamazigh2789]

@@adonmu5834 English would be better at least if they speak it people wont call them Arab like what happened in North Africa.

Azul Amazigh so it’ll be okay to call them English?
