Name Talassemtane National Park
Country Morocco
Description Located in the Rif mountain range in northern Morocco, a few kilometres east of the town of Chefchaouen, 75% of this 60,000 ha proposed Natural Park lies in rugged terrain, on slopes with a gradient of more than 20%. The site ascends from near sea-level (20 m where the northern boundary crosses the Oued Laou near its estuary) to the summits of Jbels Taloussine (2,005 m), Tissouka (2,122 m) and Lakraa (2,159 m)—an altitudinal range of more than 2,000 metres. The limestone massif of these peaks is mainly forested, the principal woody species being Quercus rotundifolia, Q. fagina, Q. coccifera, Q. suber, Abies maroccana, Pinus pinaster, P. halepensis, P. clusiana, Olea europea, and Tetraclinus articulata. Other species include Juniperus oxycedrus and J. phoenicea. The non-woody flora is also extremely rich, with a high level of endemism, and has been the object of numerous studies.

Name Tamri-Cap Ghir
Country Morocco
Description The site is a 32-km stretch of Morocco's Atlantic coast between Essaouira and Agadir. Varying between 1 and 4 km in width, the site comprises the coastal strip, starting from the forestry post at Idbene Sag in the north, and incorporating the seaward side of the minor road to Imsouane port. From Imsouane, the boundary follows the ridge Talaf Brahim ou Lahsene to just north of Tildi, where it cuts east along the northern cliffs of Oued Tannkourimt to the village of Assaka. From Assaka the boundary follows the main Agadir–Essaouira road (RP 8), until it cuts inland at Imzi, via the villages of Timassinine and Id er Rais to Tamri. From Tamri the boundary continues west along the main road to Ait Ali where it cuts south to the Iggui Ouferni ridge to Ouroumi and finally crosses the road to the sea at Cap Ghir. Habitats include coastal cliffs up to 50 m high, the permanent watercourse and estuary of the Oued Tamri, sandy beaches and dunes, and a band of coastal steppe/unintensively used agricultural land between the coast and the foothills of the High Atlas.

Name Tassili n'Ajjer
Country Algeria
Description This biosphere reserve is located in the south-eastern part of the Algerian Sahara close to the borders to Niger and Libya. The Tassili plateau (1,500 to 1,800 meters above sea level), forms part of the Ordovician and Devonian sandstone layer surrounding the Precambrian crystalline massif of the Hoggar. The plateau is hyper-arid, but there are sub-arid microclimates suitable for the survival of relict Mediterranean fauna and flora. The most notable tree species is the cypress 'tarout' Cupressus dupreziana, wild olive Olea laperrini and myrtle Myrtus nivellei. The site also hosts a rich inventory of fauna and archaeological, historical, cultural and geologic features - the reason for its designation as national park and world heritage site. Ancient cave paintings and rock engravings of large fauna such as hippopotamus and buffalo are of international importance. The total population of the plateau was approximately 1,000 to 3,000 in 1986. The area is very sparsely inhabited by sedentary and nomadic Tuaregs who are living from stock rising and agriculture. Tourism has become an important source of income for the local population. However litter and the destruction of archaeological artefacts pose problems to the area.

Name Tazekka National Park
Country Morocco
Description The limestone massif of Jbel Tazekka is an isolated promontory of the Middle Atlas, forming the southern side of the Taza Gap between the Middle Atlas and the Rif, about 20 km south-west of the town of Taza. The Parc National de Tazekka covers 580 ha of relict cedar forest Cedrus atlantica descending from the summit of Jbel Tazekka at 1,980 m to around 1,130 m. The limits of the IBA include a proposed extension that would increase the area of the park to 12,800 ha, and lower its lower altitudinal limit to around 1,100 m. This extension encompasses other types of forest and woodland, and picturesque landscapes of cliffs and caves including the tourist site of the Gouffre de Friouato, the largest and most famous cave in Morocco. The vegetation is more characteristic of the Rif than the Middle Atlas, and includes such species as Quercus lusitanica, Cerastium avium, Adenocarpus decorticans, Viola mumbyens, Potentilla miorantha, Teucrium oxylepis, Cistus laurifolius, Stipa gigantea and Pteris sp. Lower down there are forests of Quercus suber and Q. rotundifolia. The park receives an annual precipitation of 1,800 mm, much of which falls as snow during the winter.

Name The Wadi Wurayah National Park
Country UAE
Description The area's geology has created a unique hydrogeological system that allows run-off water to emerge between impermeable and permeable rock creating fresh water streams, pools and waterfalls, all of which are uncommon in an arid region. The diversity of fresh water habitats provide important spawning ground for fish such as Garra barreimiae (Cyprinidae) which is threatened and endemic to the Arabian Peninsula, including seven newly discovered insect species of which four (Order: Ephemeroptera) have water dependent larval stages.The site supports 11 threatened species of mammals, such as the Arabian Tahr (Hemitrgus jayakari). In 1978 the total world population of Arabian Tahr was estimated at ca 2000 (Munton,1985), today, the population is estimated to be at least 20 individuals. So far, 73 species of birds such as the endangered Egyptian Vulture (Neophron percnopterus) have been recorded. The Park hosts 17 reptile species such as the Bar-tailed Semaphore Gecko (Pristurus celerrimus) and at least two amphibian species.The Park is a rich archaeological site with 29 heritage sites such as, Islamic graveyards, petroglyphs and settlements dating as far as the Iron Age (1,300-500BC).The last local family left the area in 1981. Occasionally, locals venture to the site to collect medicinal plants, wild honey and fodder for livestock.Threats to the site include water exploitation, rock extraction and wild life poaching.

Name Toubkal National Park
Country Morocco
Description The site is a National Park covering 36,000 ha of the High Atlas, including the highest mountain in Morocco, Jbel Toubkal (4,167 m). Located only 60 km south of the town of Marrakech, the dramatic mountain scenery attracts thousands of visitors each year, many of whom climb Jbel Toubkal or trek elsewhere in the park. The mountain summits are often only slightly above the level of their surrounding high plateaus, which are separated by deep valleys. More than 95 breeding species have been recorded, among them nine species of the Mediterranean North Africa biome. Thirteen raptors are recorded, among them Gypaetus barbatus, which definitely bred in the park until 1980. The Parc National de Toubkal is one of only two areas in Morocco where Apus caffer has been recorded breeding, and also holds several species with quite localized distributions in Africa, such as Rhodopechys sanguinea and Eremophila alpestris.
