Published by Statista Research Department, Mar 21, 2025

As of 2023, tree cover in Morocco extending to an area of around four kilo hectares was lost due to shifting agriculture, which is related to small and medium-scale agricultural activities. Forestry, which includes losses from plantation and natural forest harvesting, with some primary forest deforestation, affected more than 1.11 kilo hectares of tree cover. In the same year, wildfire caused tree cover losses amounting to around 352 hectares.
