The workshop was held in Hima Byblos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, combined with children from Hima Anjar, also a UNESCO WHS, as part of linking and connecting the two Himas and stressing on sharing experiences and knowledge between the two youth communities under SPNL’s SNOW program, School with No Walls. SNOW aims to raise awareness about the Hima IBAs and KBA, species and ecosystems, and cultural practices linked to nature and learning through fun.

Al Hima Magazine 5th Issue

This edition of Al Hima magazine weaves together inspiring stories of nature conservation and community resilience, highlighting how Lebanon is being stitched back to life—one Hima at a time. The Society for the Protection of Nature in Lebanon (SPNL) continues its mission to preserve the country’s natural heritage by empowering local communities. A cornerstone of this effort is the BioConnect project, funded by the European Union, which has achieved three national firsts: Lebanon’s first natural park (Upper Matn), first geological park (Shouf-Jezzine), and first endowment Hima (Btekhnay).
