  abstract = {{O}n the basis of two case studies in rural {M}orocco, one in a mountainous area of the {C}entral {H}igh {A}tlas and the other in the argan tree area of the southwest {A}tlantic coast, we show how local {B}erber populations have actively shaped their forest areas through endogenous management systems at different scales: 1) at the individual tree level by differential cutting or trimming which lead to specific conformations of the tree, 2) at the tree stand level, by determining the type, structure and level of resources, and 3) at the landscape level in which complementary patches of forest areas with particular functions are consciously organized within the overall territory. {T}hese practices are strongly linked with the overall socioeconomic organization of the local communities, and mix individual with common rights of access and uses. {F}orests are viewed as part of the domestic sphere of local livelihoods. {H}ence, they typically constitute what we refer to as rural or domestic forests since they integrate production and conservation with social, political and spiritual dimensions. {T}hese features are of importance for considering forester-local community relationships, and for developing alternative forest management policies.},
