Cupressus atlantica, the Moroccan cypress, is a rare coniferous tree endemic to the valley of the Oued n'Fiss river in the High Atlas Mountains south of Marrakesh in western Morocco. The majority are old, with very little regeneration due to overgrazing by goats, and they are critically endangered.
