Today SPNL participated in the Green Orient Camp 2019 which is held by Green Orient with the collaboration of Shouf Biosphere Reserve at Ain Zhalta.
Mr. Maher Osta of SPNL gave a lecture about responsible hunting and biodiversity, explaining to the participants why we hunt some bird species and preserve others, while explaining the Lebanese hunting law in detail, highlighting the differences between sustainable hunters and illegal poachers. The lecture was interactive and fun, and Mr. Osta answered all the questions that the participants asked him. Hoping for more of this interaction and sharing of knowledge in the near future.
