Spring is in full bloom at Lebanon’s exclusive Butterfly Garden. Wildflowers paint the landscape with vibrant blues, reds, yellows, and more, while graceful butterflies flutter among them. When someone asks, “Why butterflies?” simply explain that these enchanting creatures are vital pollinators and key bioindicators of our environment’s health. Without them, both our food supply and the beautiful colors of our natural landscapes would be at risk.
The Society for the Protection of Nature in Lebanon (SPNL) has released the sixth issue of Al Hima magazine, focusing on the upcoming IUCN World Conservation Congress in Abu Dhabi (October 8–15, 2025), where SPNL will join four key sessions. The issue features an exclusive interview with IUCN President Razan Al Mubarak, who emphasizes aligning IUCN’s work with global biodiversity agendas, governance, member responsiveness, multilateral engagement, ethical use of technology, and amplifying diverse voices.
