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.”
