Expedition Purpose
This two-week scientific expedition will journey across the High Atlas Mountains and descend through the Dades Valley in search of the Barbary Leopard (Panthera pardus pardus) — one of the world’s rarest and most elusive big cats.
The team will also conduct surveys on Barbary Macaques, mountain and desert raptors, and a range of endemic flora and fauna to better understand Morocco’s fragile ecosystems.
