Local actors and field reports in Taza have raised growing concerns over the increasing dumping of construction waste in several green and forested areas surrounding the urban zone, particularly near the municipal swimming pool forest (Mssabah) and the Ain Nssa area. This situation is prompting questions about the protection of these natural sites.

According to locally circulated information, some of these areas—considered vital recreational spaces for residents—have turned into informal dumping grounds for soil and construction debris, amid ongoing urban development projects in the city.

The same sources indicate that this الوضع may have multiple environmental impacts, including damage to the natural landscape, degradation of vegetation cover, and potential risks to soil quality and the surrounding ecosystem.

There are also concerns that the استمرار of such practices could lead to further deterioration of these spaces, which are frequently used by residents for sports and leisure, highlighting the importance of preserving them ضمن a sustainable development approach.

In this context, several local observers have stressed the need to strengthen monitoring and enforcement mechanisms, and to ensure that construction waste is directed toward designated disposal sites, in order to protect the environment and limit unregulated practices.

Civil society groups have also called for awareness campaigns and regulatory measures that keep pace with the city’s urban growth while safeguarding natural areas as an essential component of quality of life.

These reports remain based on locally circulated information, pending official responses from the relevant authorities regarding measures in place to manage construction waste and protect green spaces in the city of Taza.
