A Rocha Lebanon

A Rocha Lebanon was founded in 1996, its initial focus to save the Aammiq marshes from destruction. The Aammiq Wetland is Lebanon's 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 Studies
• Practical Conservation
• Environmental Education — check out Wild Ammiq (application/pdf, 444.6 kB, info)

The A Rocha Lebanon team is led by Chris and Susanna Naylor, a British couple with three children.
