El LL TAGANT prioriza dos enfoques: mejor gestión del pastoreo y reforestación innovadora (p. ej., SWRT y bioestimulantes). Talleres colaborativos con actores locales validaron los enfoques, impulsando participación y aceptación. Resultados prometedores: mayor humedad del suelo y crecimiento del argán gracias a las tecnologías. Monitoreo/evaluación con datos frecuentes, retroalimentación y mayor participación de mujeres (compromiso duplicado). Eficiencia por sinergias, uso oportuno de recursos y entusiasmo de los actores. Persisten retos: dificultades de comunicación (analfabetismo local) y resistencias iniciales. El equipo responde con interacción constante, formación y talleres flexibles. En conjunto, el TAGANT LL evidencia el valor de enfoques participativos y tecnologías innovadoras en la restauración ecológica, aportando soluciones prácticas a la degradación, oportunidades económicas locales y mayor resiliencia socio-ecológica. Próximos pasos: mayor implicación y estrategias afinadas para la gestión sostenible del argán.
