摘要

In recent years, Morocco has shown increased interest in its geoheritage recognizing due to the scientific, educational, and touristic importance that holds. The Azrou-Khenifra basin contains several geosites with ages ranging from the Precambrian to the Quaternary; these geosites show different geological and geomorphological interests (sedimentary, petrographic, tectonic, etc.). In order to ensure the conservation and the effective use of this geoheritage, an inventory and quantitative assessment of 21 geosites with scientific, educational, and touristic interest have been elaborated using the method proposed by Brilha 2016. The most important geosite in the Azrou-Khenifra basin is the granite of Ment that hold the highest scientific value with a score of 360. This work provides valuable results that could contribute to the sustainable development of this area, by establishing a geopark, implementing a geoconservation strategy, and developing a geoeducation and geotourism action plan. This could enhance the protection of geoheritage, the development of the economic level of people living the geopark, and the conservation of the cultural identity.
