I'm a PhD student in ethnoecology at Aix-Marseille University (IMBE/IRD) and Cadi Ayyad University in Marrakech. My doctoral research focuses on the reciprocal relationship between societies and nature in the Ait Bouguemez valley (High Atlas, Morocco). It explores the role of Amazigh women in managing agro-sylvo-pastoral landscapes, adapting to global change and passing on local knowledge. My work combines ecological approaches (floristic analyses, habitat dynamics) and ethnobiological approaches (focus groups, interviews, surveys), in order to gain a better understanding of how care practices and cultural values shape both biodiversity conservation and local strategies for adapting to climate change.
My thesis (2023-2026) adopts a transdisciplinary approach combining ecology and ethnobiology to study the reciprocal relations between society and nature in the Ait Bouguemez valley (High Atlas, Morocco). She is particularly interested in the role of Amazigh women and local communities in managing agro-sylvo-pastoral landscapes, conserving biodiversity and adapting to climate change.
