Minister of Environment Fadi Jreissati announced earlier this week that Lebanon’s nature reserves will be open for free to the public on Sunday March 10th for the occation of the National Day for Nature reserves.
Access to the nature reserves isn’t much anyway, as I recall paying around 5,000L.L when I went to Arz El Shouf few years ago, but the announcement comes as a reminder for us all to actually go and learn about the value of these reserve with all the biological diversity they encompass.
Here’s a list of the available nature reserves in Lebanon from Wikipedia and new other sources:
- Ehden Forest
- Nakheel Islands
- Cedars of Tannourine Forest
- Chnaneer
- Arz Jaj
- Bentael natural reserve.
- Al Yammouna
- Arz El Chouf
- Tyre coast
- Houjeir Valley
- Karm Shobat
- Nature reserves of Ramiyah, Kafra, Beit Leef and Dibil.
