Ifrane National Park is a national park in the Moyen Atlas mountain range, in Morocco.^[1] It covers an area of 500 km2. Much of the park is forested with Atlas cedar.^[2] Ifrane National Park is one of the few remaining habitats for the Barbary Macaque, Macaca sylvanus; this primate prehistorically had a much broader range in North Africa, but currently survives as an endangered species in narrowly restricted and fragmented habitats.^[3]
