Environmental education for school pupils in Bouhlou

As part of the Restore Bouhlou 1 project, AESVT Taza carried out an environmental education programme with pupils from the schools of the commune of Bouhlou, to raise their awareness of nature protection and the preservation of water resources.

The activity helps pupils discover the importance of aquatic ecosystems, the need to keep rivers clean and everyone’s role in protecting biodiversity. Particular attention is paid to the Moroccan mussel (Margaritifera marocana), a highly threatened species endemic to Morocco whose survival depends largely on the quality of its natural habitat.

Through the creation of six clubs, discussions, explanations and tailored educational activities, pupils are encouraged to adopt responsible behaviour towards the environment and to become actors in its protection.

This action helps strengthen the environmental culture of young generations and promotes lasting mobilisation for the Bouhlou river.
