Toubkal, at 4,167 metres (13,671 ft), in Toubkal National Park

There are 11 national parks in Morocco. Toubkal National Park, established in 1942, is the oldest[1] and by far the most visited.[2] The parks are situated rather well in-line,[3] so it already allows wildlife migration to some extent. The only missing component in this wildlife corridor is a gap between Al-Hoceima and Seghir (so roughly at the location of Hakkama). Closing this gap would facilitate wildlife passage (of mainly birds) to the Spanish park of Los Alcornocales.
