The Indigenous Amazigh people of the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco are one of the world’s oldest cultures, and they have handed down practices that have helped them survive several millennia of environmental changes in North Africa. However, they live under the authoritarian rule of King Mohammed VI and they are prevented from using these tools while at the same time some villages ran out of drinking water two summers ago. How will they survive these next few decades when they face grinding poverty and political oppression? In fact, they have a plan and it is one that everyone should hear. <\/p>\n\n\n
