The park has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports significant populations of Barbary partridges, Levaillant's woodpeckers, subalpine, spectacled and Tristram's warblers, Moussier's redstarts, and black-eared and black wheatears.

The park lies within a region traditionally inhabited by the Berber people, whose communities rely on the land for agriculture, grazing, and other forms of subsistence.

The area is particularly famous for the Berber Marriage Festival held in the nearby village of Imilchil, an event that draws thousands of visitors annually.

[5] Ecotourism is a growing part of the park's appeal, with visitors drawn to its hiking trails, scenic landscapes, and opportunities to observe wildlife.

Local Berber guides often lead trekking tours through the park, providing visitors with insights into the region's natural and cultural heritage.
