This pamphlet focuses on birds in general, the definition and description of the IBA programme, benefits of IBA inventories, Hima approach, and the list of proposed IBAs in Lebanon, to be studied during the “IBA Research Project” (2004-2008).
The Society for the Protection of Nature in Lebanon, SPNL, has officially released the seventh issue of Al Hima magazine, reaffirming its commitment to advancing community-led conservation and positioning Lebanon as a regional leader in nature-based solutions.
This latest edition comes at a critical moment for environmental action in Lebanon and the wider region, bringing together scientific insight, traditional knowledge, and global perspectives under the unifying theme: “From Ridge to Coast, One Hima at a Time.”
