Preparing new One Health campaigns in villages
By Dr J.Garnier | Project Leader
![]()
One Health is now becoming increasingly recognized in Morocco with our sister organization One Health Maroc Association which has helped organized a key workshop last year at the Institute Royal of Strategic Studies. As a result, One Health is now recognized as a strategix axis for the country to increase its resilience in the face of multi-dimensional shocks and crises.
We are translating this into action with the planning of future One Health campaigns in villages in the next few months where the One Health gardens were created. This will involve combined rabies vaccination campaigns and human health prevention campaings in remote villages. We need your support to help organize these campaigns which will raise awareness on the linkages between human health, animal health and environmental health and help prevent some zoonotc diseases such as rabies.

The One Health garden in the cedar forest
Following the success of our first One Health Garden for Aromatic and Medicinal Plant in the argan forest developed with the One Health Maroc association that we co-founded, a second garden has been launched in the cedar forest in Azrou.
The cedar forest in the atlas has been recognized as a Unesco Biosphere Reservce, since it holds around 75%of the world population of cedar trees. The area also holds important wildlife populations including macaque monkeys. The One Health Garden of Aromatic and Medicinal Plants will enable young generations to discover and learn about the extraordinary biodiversity of this unique ecosystem which symbolizes resistance to climatic change.
As climate change is now accelerating and intensifying, ensuring the transmission of unique and vital traditional knowledge about biodiversity is critical for the future of young generations.

Facing one of the worse water crisis

A popular garden for villagers and visitors
Our garden of Aromatic and Medicinal plants , the first of its kind in Morocco, has grown amazingly thanks to the attention and great care of women from the argan oil cooperative. In addition to supplying families with free plants which they use daily for medicine and food, it attracts many visitors and fill local women with great pride. But with Morocco now facing the worst drought ever while food supplies have been largely disrupted by the war in Ukraine, this garden is proving to be an extremely precious supply of plants for vulnerable families. As neighbouring villages would like to see a similar project to develop in their localities, we need your support to provide them with the necessary basic equipment. Now is the time to build resilience through One Health!
