Wikipedia indicates that the following are from Australasia and South Asia and therefore are non-native and must have extremely limited conservation value in north Africa:
Casuarina equisetifolia,
Dalbergia sissoo,
Eucalyptus camaldulensis,
Eucalyptus citriodora,
Terminalia arjuna
The following are Mediterranean or Sub-saharan African:
Cupressus sempervirens,
Khaya grandifoliola,
Khaya senegalensis,
Pinus halepensis
I am very concerned that climate change is creating a generation that does not understand the value of natural habitat with native plant species. Many people nowadays seems to just care about climate change and not about species conservation.
- johntfella 6y agoThanks. I agree. Boswellia is native to the region. There is a planting project going on in Yemen for specific species but the fighting has complicated the project. A lot is hitting the species and is likely to increase in demand.
