SPNL is on the short-listed nominations for the #LushSpringPrize 2019

We are proud to announce that SPNL has been shortlisted for the INFLUENCE award by Lush Spring Prize. Amazing to be striding side by side so many other amazing organizations working towards regeneration in all its forms.

Lush Spring Prize received hundreds of nominations from around the world, which have been narrowed down to a shortlist of 50. Judging takes place in March, and the winners will be announced in May. SPNL is on the short-listed nominations for 2019 Influence Award.

This award is for organizations that are campaigning or lobbying to influence policy, regulation or public opinion in support of regeneration.

This prize is aimed at supporting those who are changing the context in which we are all working; who are helping to build and strengthen the regenerative movement. There are two prizes in this category, with each being awarded £25,000.

 

About the Lush Spring Prize

People all over the world are developing ways to live in harmony with nature and each other. They are generating renewable resources, restoring ecosystems, nurturing solidarity and building health, wholeness, and resilience.

The Lush Spring Prize is here to support this regeneration movement through:

  • An annual £200,000 prize fund. This is open to communities, organisations and businesses from the Intentional stage, through to Young and Established organisations, and Influencers. We are currently closed for entries but plan to reopen in September 2019.  
  • Events that bring people together to share their skills and experience.
  • Publicity to raise awareness of regeneration and its potential to heal damaged systems.

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).
