Important Days

International Day of Argania is celebrated every year on 10 May. The Day celebrates the Argan tree, an ancient species that has grown in Morocco for about 80 million years. The Argan tree is a native species of the sub-Saharan region of Morocco, in the southwest of the country, which grows in arid and semiarid areas. It’s the defining species of a woodland ecosystem, also known as Arganeraie, which is rich in endemic flora. It is resilient to a harsh environment under water scarcity, risk of erosion and poor soils. The theme of 4th International Day of Argania 2024 is "The Argan Tree facing the challenges of climate change". The United Nations General Assembly, by resolution 75/262 of 3 March 2021, proclaimed May 10 as International Day of Argania. The resolution, submitted by Morocco, was co-sponsored by 113 United Nations Member States and adopted by consensus.
