Dr Abdellah Salih, Director of Cultural Heritage in Morocco and a member of the TARA Advisory Board, visited TARA in January 2010. He worked with the TARA team to prepare an international conference about protecting rock art from vandalism and looting which is expected to take place in Morocco in October 2010.

In May 2009 David Coulson and Terry Little visited Morocco and were taken by Dr. Salih to visit sites in the Draa Valley region to inspect recent conservation measures implemented since David Coulson's visit in 2006. He also spent time at TARA's Digital Imaging Centre to review the collection of images from Morocco.

During his brief trip, Dr. Salih also traveled to Suba to see the results of TARA's community project initiatives there.
