The argan tree not only sustains the local people of South-West Morocco, it is also key to the local ecosystem. But its miracle oil, known as 'liquid gold', is now a must-have for Western cosmetics and the booming demand is destroying the forest. "Without that tree, the whole population will migrate to the cities to find work." With no simple solution in sight, the scramble for profit poses a bleak future for an ancient way of life.

    If the official language of a country is Arabic, then learning is in Arabic. Arabic is a beautiful and advanced language, many languages borrow terms from it, English borrowed numbers from Arabic, that did not destroy English, did it now?
