This paper presents an analysis of natural and anthropogenic factors responsible for increasing sanding up and desertification phenomena in southeastern Morocco. A new relationship between humans and the environment has developed through the introduction of modem lifestyles in oasis areas, accompanied by increased road systems, irrigation canals. motorization, dams, etc. This has led to a generally unbalanced situation. The main environmental changes that have occurred, such as sanding up and desertification. are therefore more due to human pressure and accompanying technological modifications, along with resource mismanagement. than to unfavorable climatic conditions. Human activities are therefore mainly responsible for the environmental imbalance that has occurred in southeastern Morocco in recent decades.
