SPNL and Maison du Ski sign cooperation agreement

A cooperation agreement between SPNL and Maison du Ski one of the top outdoor sports in Lebanon was signed today.
SPNL and Maison du Ski shares the same values:
• Respect for nature: Recognizing the intrinsic value of the natural world and our interconnectedness with it.
• Stewardship: Embracing our responsibility to care for and protect the environment for future generations.
• Simplicity: Seeking a lifestyle that prioritizes experiences and relationships

Because SPNL and Maison du Ski believes that’s it’s important to have a healthy and responsible lifestyle.
SPNL and Maison Du Ski joined forces to highlight and promote nature- based tourism through the Hima-to-Hima approach and Douroub al Hima.

“Together, this agreement affirm the vision we share with Maison du Ski and the partnership we have developed over years,” said André Béchara head of SNOW program at SPNL . “Namely, we are seeking to join with others to promote Droub el Hima t and scale protection and management efforts commensurate with the threats facing people and nature.”

The blue sky and warm waters of the Mediterranean, the fresh air and rugged mountain peaks, and the pleasant chill of snowmelt-fed rivers make Lebanon a perfect destination for those who enjoy nature and the outdoors. From a leisurely afternoon of snorkeling or diving on the coast to a multiple-day trek through ancient cedar forests and mountains, the compactness of the country makes it possible to explore much of Lebanon’s natural beauty and the cultural diversity in a single trip.
In this country of rich biodiversity, nature-lovers will enjoy watching endangered loggerhead and green turtles come to shore for breeding along the coast, or going on guided nature walks in search of tiny orchids, medicinal plants, and colorful wildflowers.

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).
