On the morning of Sunday, July 6, a significant area of the “al-Burj” forest in the Melloussa region near Tangier was completely deforested by unidentified individuals.
Video footage obtained by “Tanja7” shows trucks transporting large quantities of cut tree trunks. The footage also reveals barriers erected along several meters to obscure part of the “al-Burj” forest from the view of drivers on the Melloussa road, indicating that the ongoing activities are shrouded in secrecy.
The “al-Burj” forest is located near the Renault Tangier automotive plant and has raised concerns among local residents and environmental activists due to threats to nearby forests posed by plans for luxury villa constructions.
