Incentive measures proposed in the national biodiversity strategy and action plan, Morocco |
| Description |
|
The submission indicates that several incentive measures are proposed in Morocco's National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan, related to: income-generating projects for local populations; redirecting private sector activities to non-timber forest resources; participative approaches; and institutional measures. In particular, fiscal incentive measures are foreseen in order to address the overuse of natural resources; pollution; detrimental urban and tourism activities; and activities that may impact on ecosystems, species or genetic diversity. |
