The
central law entitled the Law
on the Protection of the Environment,
Law No. 83-05, governs all environmental
topics including the identification
of the different classes of
protected areas, under Article
17-30. This Law introduced three
categories of protected area:
réserve naturelle (natural
reserve), parc national (national
park) and parc régional
(regional park)
Throughout
the 1980s overall responsibility
for protected areas lay with
two ministries: the Ministry
of Hydrology, Environment and
Forestry (Ministère de
l'Hydraulique, de l'Environnement
et des Forêts (MHEF) and
the Ministry of Information
and Culture (Ministère
de l'Information et de la Culture).
In 1991 the National Agency
for Nature Protection (Agence
National pour la Protection
de la Nature) of the Ministry
of Agriculture (Ministère
de l'Agriculture) had already
taken over responsibility from
the former MHEF for the majority
of protected areas, although
the two desert national parks
continue to be under the jurisdiction
of the Ministry of Culture now
entitled the Ministère
de la Communication et de la
Cultura.
Regional Parks came under the
authority of the Wilaya.

The
Environmental Protection Law
No. 2, 1982 which provides for
the regulations on various forms
of protection including hunting
reserves, fishing zones and
other forms of reserves. Conservation
activities are the technical
and administrative responsibility
of the General Secretariat of
Agricultural Reclamation and
Land Reform, also called the
Secretariat for the General
Popular Committee for Agricultural
Reclamation and Land Development.
Various categories of protected
area are being designated under
individual decree of the Council
of Ministers. Initially four
categories were envisaged (national
park, wildlife park, multi-purpose
reserve and natural sanctuary)

Currently
the protected areas system consists
of three classes of protected
area: national park (parc national);
permanent hunting reserve (réserve
de chasse permanente) including
the subclass royal hunting reserve
(réserve de chasse royale);
triennial hunting reserve (réserve
de chasse triennale); and reserve
(réserve), subdivided
into three nature or natural
reserve types: botanical, faunal
and biological (réserve
naturelle: réserve botanique,
réserve de faune and
réserve biologique).
Wetland zones (zones humides)
are included in the international
Ramsar designation.
National Parks are designated
by Royal Edit (Dahir). As for
nature reserves, the Ministry
of Agriculture, Rural Development
and Water and Forests is empowered
to legislate the establishment
of this form or protected area
under local regulations.
Other protected areas have been
established under hunting legislation
and forest ordinance.
