In Morocco, forests cover 12% of the national territory and occupy an area of 9 million hectares. Globally, fuelwood represents 30% of the national energy balance, while the total consumption of fuelwood is estimated at 11 million tonnes of which 88% in rural areas, mainly for cooking and heating purposes, for this reason, The State has thought of the development of forests and the distribution of stoves to rural populations to reduce their consumption of fuelwood. In this context, we carried out surveys on the three forest zones of the Central Plateau region in Morocco, in order to assess the effect of this strategy on the intense exploitation of these resources. This study focuses on the comparison of the three types of forests: unmanaged forests (OuedSatour, El kansera, Camp Bataille, Oued El kell, Ouchkett, OuedBeht, Achemach, Houderrane); managed forests (Developed: Zitchouine, AïtAllaEst, AïtHattem, Sibara, Khatouat, El Harcha); and managed forests, the population of which has received state gas ovens (AîtAllaOuest, AïtIchouOuest, AïtIchouEst, Bouregreg). The results obtained show a weak or even negative correlation (-0.026) between the contingency coefficient and R of pearson the chi-square test, therefore the exploitation of forests continues despite the development of forests and the distribution of ovens to rural populations. Only the sharing of responsibilities between the various partners concerned can lead to a sustainable development of the forest ecosystems of the central plateau of Morocco.
