“…The camping equipment and supplies for the entire two-week trek were being carried out from the stores and loaded onto the backs of the waiting mules, who patiently braced themselves as their packsaddles (burdâa) and paniers (chwari) disappeared under a seemingly vast charge (Figures 1a-1b). 2 The mule is often lauded in Morocco as the "quatrequatre Berbère," capable of navigating the steep, narrow paths and rocky terrain of the Atlas Mountains (Cousquer & Alison, 2012)-an expression that can be both pejorative to the Amazigh people (Weitzman, 2011) and an objectifying violation for the mule. The muleteers 3 were keen to get going and grateful for the help of the young future guides who volunteered to help with the loading, for there were 30kms of ground to cover that day.…”

The welfare of equines working as pack animals on treks and expeditions within the international mountain tourism industry is often severely compromised. Awareness of these issues and of what prevents owners, trekking teams and the wider industry knowing and attending to the equine and to equine welfare has been advanced through a sustained research and development initiative and Action Research project focusing on the international mountain tourism industry in the Moroccan High Atlas. An approach based on Theory U and on the development of co-seeing, co-sensing, and co-creating journeys has allowed deeper levels of awareness to be accessed and developed. Shifting the quality of attention, of meeting, and of dialogue has allowed eco-system awareness to develop, where previously silo-thinking and ego-system awareness had prevailed. This has allowed muleteering practice to evolve away from practices based on control and domination towards practices informed by the dialogical encounter. This paper will explore the role of Action Research in developing the awareness of the tourism industry and the communities of practice it supports. Absencing as a barrier to awareness and the approaches available to overcome it will be explored. A key distinction will be made between the outcomes emerging from the co-creative projects arising from genuine meeting and dialogue, and the outcomes arising from the failure to meet and dialogue genuinely, a failure rooted in the exploitation embedded in hierarchical relationships.

“…The promise of jobs and the division of land among select community members has engendered both hope and tension. In an area of the country neglected by the state for decades, investment in the region for many is a welcome change (Maddy-Weitzman, 2011). Moroccans in the southeastern part of the country, especially young people, are searching for employment and livelihood alternatives to migration.…”

The Green Morocco Plan in Boudnib: Examining Effects on Rural Livelihoods

In southeastern Morocco, irrigated agriculture is expanding rapidly in a desert area formerly characterized by oasis agriculture and livestock grazing. The 2008 Green Morocco Plan (GMP) is fueling this expansion with incentives encouraging agricultural growth and foreign investment. Despite the GMP’s green, poverty fighting claims, job opportunities are low-paying and unreliable and water supply is decreasing. Outsider investors and farmers benefit from free groundwater and cheap local labor, leaving locals to deal with the long-term ecological damage. This research utilizes a mixed methods approach including document analysis, semi-structured interviews, household surveys, and a roundtable discussion. It examines GMP implementation in Boudnib as a continuation of historical, state-managed water policies that emphasize technological fixes and ignore associated social and environmental costs. It calls for action on the part of those in power to prevent the deepening of existing inequalities and threats to the livelihoods and environment of already vulnerable populations.

“…Nous avons pu recenser au moins une centaine de sites amazighs d'associations, de villages et de régions. Mais ce décompte est loin d'être exhaustif puisque de nouveaux sites apparaissent régulièrement, tandis que d'autres disparaissent ou cessent d'être mis à jour 8 . Il existe une pléthore de sites musicaux, de blogs individuels et de pages Facebook qui varient tant par leur contenu que par leurs activités.…”
