he International Argan Tree Center (CIA), under the auspices of ANDZOA, organized a highly insightful webinar on February 26, 2025, under the theme:💡 “Carbon Footprint and Carbon Market in Biosphere Reserves: Learn, Calculate, and Act.”

This event brought together 123 participants, including experts, researchers, and biosphere reserve managers, to explore the challenges of the carbon market, carbon footprint calculation methodologies, and the opportunities they offer for ecological transition.

🔎 Key topics covered:
✅ Carbon footprint and sequestration: analyzing new argan tree plantations and forest ecosystems
✅ Carbon sequestration calculation: scientific methods adapted to arid ecosystems
✅ International experiences: example of the carbon market in Ugandan coffee ecosystems ☕
✅ Carbon Farming opportunities: economic and environmental benefits for biosphere reserve managers and farmers

💬 A space for exchange and reflection
Discussions highlighted the challenges and opportunities related to integrating Biosphere Reserves into sustainable finance mechanisms. The ideas shared pave the way for new collaborations and strategies for more sustainable ecosystem management.

📌 Key recommendations:
🔹 Integrate arganiculture into the carbon market by leveraging its ecological and economic role
🔹 Strengthen scientific research to better quantify carbon sequestration
🔹 Update the forest inventory to refine CO₂ stock assessments
🔹 Utilize tree drying data to gain new insights into stored carbon
