The United Nations observed 10th May 2022, the second International Day of Argania. 

• The day will be celebrated this year under the theme “The Argan tree, symbol of resilience” and will serve to raise international awareness around the tree, its ecosystem, and the important position it holds in Moroccan culture and heritage.
• The cooperation of International Cooperative and Agricultural Organizations can help to promote resilient communities by proposing local solutions for sustainable development.
• The argan tree (Argania Spinosa) is widely found in the Sub Saharan region of Morocco. The tree grows in arid and semi-arid areas and is known as the defining species of woodland ecosystem, Arganeraie.
• The argan tree is one of the most resilient types of a tree as it persists in harsh environments. The tree does not risk erosion and survives in poor quality soils and lack of water.
