This tiny country of 10452 Km2 has a temperate Mediterranean climate dominated by two mountain ranges with a rift valley in between, running parallel to a 225 km sandy and rocky coastline.It is enriched by Alpine mountains and deep valleys with swamps, forests more than 3000 years old, over 18 rivers and thousands of natural springs, all of which add to its diverse flora and fauna. Such richness of natural heritage must not be taken for granted. Without good management and implementation of environmental and conservation laws, resources that are so abundant today may cease to exist.Organizations like Ministry of Environment, National Center for Scientific Research and the SPNL/NGO are making certain that this does not happen.A total of 369 bird species were recorded in Lebanon.At present, the 369 species mentioned above belong to 60 families and 18 orders. About 78% are members of the following orders: Passeriformes - 160 species (about 43% of the total); Charadriiformes - 68 (18%); Accipitriformes and Falconiformes - 39 (11%); and Anseriformes - 20 (5%).So far, 134 species have been recorded breeding in Lebanon. Only 110 breed regularly, the rest being either occasional or former breeders. Of the 110 regular breeders, 56 are exclusively residents (i.e. their populations remain within Lebanon) such as Sparrow, Palm Dove, Yellow-legged Gull, Graceful Warbler, Bulbul, Chukar, Long-legged Buzzard. 54 are exclusively summer breeders (i.e. winter elsewhere but breed in Lebanon) such as Turtle Dove, Pallid Swift, Swallow, Red-backed Shrike, White Wagtail.The breeding season for 74% of the species is from March to mid-July, while the rest may start as early as the beginning of February (i.e. raptors) or end as late as September (i.e. Palm Dove, Sparrow, Graceful Warbler).Among the species that have bred in the past (former breeders) two are today extinct in Lebanon (Lesser Crested Tern and Blue-cheeked Bee-eater). The reason for their extirpation as breeders are various. The following circumstances provide a plausible explanation for this:1. Four species (Audouins Gull, Lesser Crested Tern, Common Tern and Little Tern) were published by Stenhouse (1904) breeding on palm Islands but stopped to do so, at least from 1956 onward. Furthermore, one of these species (Lesser Crested Tern) apparently ceased to appear in Lebanon. The extirpation of these four species from the islands is not surprising knowing that insular communities are very susceptible to persecution, disturbance and development. All these factors (hunting, egging, feeding on nestling, r
