SPNL consider Mrs. Roukoz a true role model. Such graceful birds deserves such a role model, to save them in our troubled region.
Earlier this month, President Aoun, highlighted “the need not to harm bird flocks with the approach of the migratory birds’ season, as the number of birds crossing the skies of Lebanon increases.”
In an issued statement by the Presidency Information Office, the President called on the competent Lebanese authorities to take the necessary measures to prevent shooting at birds, while punishing violators in accordance with the stipulated laws.
