Each year, Paléo collaborates with a local organisation linked to the Village du Monde’s featured region. In 2025, the spotlight is on the Moroccan association Zaila! 

Zaila works to preserve the natural and human diversity of the Sahara. Its main goal is to protect this sublime yet fragile ecosystem through alternative solutions to pollution, a desert protection charter, and the organisation of socio-cultural activities that promote the nomadic way of life. 

Active at festivals, forums, and in documentary filmmaking, Zaila raises awareness of the vital harmony between humans, wildlife and the flora of the desert. Come meet them at the Village du Monde throughout this year’s edition!
