Turtle dove, song thrush and Greek tortoise are some of the species that we can find in this 0.75 km2 pine forest, located in Jezzine District 890m above sea level. This communal/municipal land that is 500 meters away from human habitation hosts an interesting wildlife such as wolves, bats and many species of reptiles. This faunal richness is associated with an important floral diversity in this area where different type of vegetation are found like oak trees, olive trees, and some cultivated areas. Hima Qaytouleh was declared in 2013 and categorized as a responsible hunting area by SPNL and the municipality for being an important spot concerning the Lebanese wildlife.
