The A Rocha Lebanon team are all safely out of the country - the French and British members were evacuated on 19 July. We continue to be very concerned for the safety and well-being of our national committee as well as our many colleagues and friends throughout the country.A Rocha Lebanon was founded in 1996, its initial focus to save the Aammiq marshes from destruction. The Aammiq Wetland is Lebanons most significant remaining natural freshwater site, one of all too few in the Middle East. This major stop-over site for migrating birds was under severe threat. Due to the work of A Rocha the reduction of its habitats has been reversed and it is now a designated Ramsar site. Beyond Aammiq, A Rocha works throughout the country, on behalf of government departments, nature reserves and international conservation bodies.A Rocha Lebanon works in three main areas:Scientific StudyPractical ConservationEnvironmental EducationThe A Rocha Lebanon team is led by Chris and Susanna Naylor, a British couple with three children.Email: lebanon arocha.orgA Rocha International |Lebanon home page #32;| #32;About us #32;| #32;Scientific studies #32;| #32;Practical conservation #32;| #32;Important Bird Areas (IBAs) #32;| #32;Environmental education #32;| #32;About Aammiq #32;| #32;Publications #32;| #32;Newsletters #32;| #32;Photo gallery #32;| #32;Contact us
