Morocco still has wild areas and wildlife to save. But conservation is linked with forestry and where there is conflict forestry takes priority, says the author, who spent six months there in 1975 on a WWF commission. Destruction of birds as well as their habitat was widespread. The need for outside help to provide conservation education particularly in the forest service is urgent.
