A Majestic Survivor Welcomes the Snowstorm – Help Us Save More! πŸ¦…πŸŒ¨οΈ

At the Hima Center Temporary Sanctuary in Mount Lebanon, this magnificent Griffon Vulture is experiencing the first snowfall of the season after being rescued and treated from injuries caused by illegal poaching. β„οΈπŸ’™

Once targeted by harmful practices, this resilient raptor now stands tall against the winter storm, a symbol of hope, conservation, and the fight to protect Lebanon’s endangered wildlife.

During the 2021 migratory season, illegal killings of birds were widespread across Lebanon. At SPNL, we refused to stay idle. That’s why we transformed the aviary at the Luc Hoffmann Hima Center, Kayfoun, into a Migratory Bird Rescue Center. Originally designed to breed and release the endangered Syrian Serin, the aviary was urgently modified to accommodate large, injured birds like Cranes, Black Kites, and Egyptian Vultures.

With the help of dedicated veterinarians, conservationists, and volunteers, we have provided critical treatment, rehabilitation, and food to these majestic birds. However, to turn this emergency response into a lasting sanctuary, we need your support!

πŸ’™ Take Action Today πŸ’™

Your donation will help us equip the rescue center, provide medical care, and ensure these soaring birds can return to the wild. Every contribution counts in the fight to protect and rehabilitate Lebanon’s migratory birds.

Let’s continue to raise awareness and safeguard these vital scavengers, ensuring they soar freely once again in our skies! πŸ™Œβœ¨ #SaveOurVultures #HimaConservation #LebanonWildlife #GriffonVulture #StopPoaching #SupportConservation
