Le cyprès de l’Atlas, unique au Maroc, en danger critique d’extinction

Alors qu’on ne le trouve que dans une unique vallée au Maroc, le cyprès de l’Atlas est aujourd’hui menacé par l’exploitation humaine et a été durement touché par le séisme qui a frappé le Maroc en septembre 2023. Pourtant, cette espèce, protégée et plantée dans d’autres régions, résiste particulièrement bien au réchauffement climatique : #^https://theconversation.com/le-cypres-de-latlas-unique-au-maroc-en-danger-critique-dextinction-257688

Le bassin méditerranéen est l’un des 36 points chauds de biodiversité d’importance mondiale en raison de sa grande biodiversité, souvent propre à la région. Il est en effet riche de plus de 300 espèces d’arbres et d’arbustes contre seulement 135 pour l’Europe non méditerranéenne. Parmi ces espèces, un certain nombre sont endémiques, comme le genévrier thurifère, le chêne-liège, plusieurs espèces de sapins mais aussi le remarquable cyprès de l’Atlas.

Décrit dès les années 1920, ce cyprès cantonné dans une seule vallée du Haut Atlas, au Maroc, a intéressé nombre de botanistes, forestiers et écologues, qui ont étudié cette espèce très menacée, mais aussi potentielle réponse au changement climatique.
