The Abies pinsapo maroccana, endemic in Morocco, is rare, and is confined
to the only limestone mountains of the Occidental Rif, near Chefchaouen,
where its woods scarcely exceed 6000 ha, and which are usually infiltrated
with Cedar, Oak, and Pines often with underbrush comparable to that of
cedar groves. About 30 nesting bird species find shelter there.
Among mammals, one can find, among others, macaque monkeys, boar and Lutra
lutra.
