Following a complaint lodged by the Green Youth Movement on April 9, regarding tree-cutting activities in the Rmilat forest in Tangier, authorities identified the perpetrators and issued a fine of MAD150,000, in addition to an order to reforest the affected area at their own expense.

The Green Youth Movement previously noted the construction of a wall on a plot of land located along the Cap Spartel Road (Rmilat Forest), indicating plans to alter the landscape of this forest and potentially allow for future construction.

Provincial authorities in Tangier intervened and demolished the wall that was intended to facilitate construction within the forest.

A real estate investigation will be initiated to determine the ownership status of the forest area, its conservation mechanism, and the history of previous activities on the land plot, a statement from the Green Youth Movement said.

Additionally, a special committee will be established to safeguard forested and sensitive areas under the supervision of the Governor of the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima Region, providing it with all necessary logistical support for monitoring, tracking, and oversight duties.
