Deep in the Arctic mountainside on the remote island of Spitsbergen, Norway, lies a huge vault which could be crucial to the survival of mankind if we ever face a global catastrophe.
Opened in 2008, the ‘doomsday’ seed vault functions as an emergency shelf of food supply to be used only in global crises such as nuclear war or mass famine.
The Society for the Protection of Nature in Lebanon, SPNL, has officially released the seventh issue of Al Hima magazine, reaffirming its commitment to advancing community-led conservation and positioning Lebanon as a regional leader in nature-based solutions.
This latest edition comes at a critical moment for environmental action in Lebanon and the wider region, bringing together scientific insight, traditional knowledge, and global perspectives under the unifying theme: “From Ridge to Coast, One Hima at a Time.”
