Atlas Mountains
The Atlas is a mountain range located in North Africa and which spans three countries which are: Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco. It reaches 4,167 meters above sea level at the djebel Toubkal (the highest point in the Atlas Mountains).
The Atlas Mountains stretches over 2,500 kilometers long from southwest to northwest through Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco, and shelters several diversified species, often threatened: Among them is the Berber Macaque, the Berber Leopard, the Barbary Deer, or the Bald Ibis. Others are extinct but remain emblematic of the region including the Atlas Bear, the only African species of bear disappeared at the end of the 20th century, the Atlas Lion disappeared in the wild in the vicinity of 1943 and the Auroch of North Africa disappeared since Antiquity. In terms of flora, we can find some species of trees including the Atlas Cedar, the Atlas Black Pine, and even the Zene Oak.
