The Arganeraie Biosphere Reserve covers over 2 560 000 hectares of terrain, of which some is inhabited and therefore it incorporates urban areas, forest areas and agricultural lands. It was established in the year 1998 to protect the remaining species and to assist researchers in their reforestation efforts. At present, the two most prominent ecosystem types that are found within the Arganeraie Biosphere Reserve are the sclerophyllous forests and the deserts, which fall into semi-desert and warm desert regions. As theSahara Desert slowly eats away at the bordering territories, it is vital to conserve the forests that are already in existence to protect against the advancing desert.
The continued existence and acceptance of fishing communities and farming communities within the borders of the biosphere reserve have brought about an increase in national parks in Morocco. Most of these parks are found within the borders of much larger biosphere reserves and they contain and completely protect various areas. National parks, such as the Souss Masa National Park, are vital to the survival of the Argan tree
