Two groups of threats to biodiversity appear to be particularly significant in Morocco at the present time, these being (i) changes in the quality and quantity of water resources, and (ii) habitat loss, change and degradation. Species exploitation of various forms is also a relevant factor of concern for particular species and/or groups. Drought is becoming a matter of fact, particularly in light of climate change, although this does not necessarily imply a constant trend of lesser rainfall but, rather, more variability.
