HUNTING REGULATIONS
In Morocco, hunting regulations are quite complex and sometimes even restrictive, because the legislator is keen to allow the exercise of this sport while ensuring the sustainability of the national hunting heritage. Unlike other countries where the right to hunt is attached to the right to property. In Morocco, the right to hunt belongs to the State, which can delegate its exercise under certain conditions.

By regulating hunting and the conditions in which it is permitted to search for, pursue and capture game, we enable it to defend itself, thus ensuring its sustainability for future generations.
Hunting in space and hunting reserves
The national agency for Water and Forests and the Fight against Desertification may prohibit access to certain hunting territories by order. In this context, there are two categories of reserves: permanent reserves and temporary reserves.
Permanent reserves are areas where hunting is prohibited permanently or for a very long period.
The rest of the national territory is divided into temporary reserves where hunting is prohibited for one or more consecutive hunting seasons.
This measure allows game to reproduce and develop.
Thanks to these regulations, the national agency for Water and Forests and the Fight against Desertification ensures the preservation of Moroccan fauna and flora, while guaranteeing fair hunting conditions for all hunters.
Tourist hunting companies
In order to develop hunting tourism in Morocco, certain territories have been classified and leased to tourist hunting companies. These territories are quite large and located in very varied environments, in order to be representative of the different biotopes and thus allow the hunting of all game species of Moroccan wildlife.
By its geographical position, Morocco is less than a three-hour flight from the main European capitals and can therefore claim a much more important place in international hunting tourism.
