    In a generous move to support Lebanon in preserving its natural environment, Japan granted the Lebanese Association for the Protection of Jabal Moussa (APJM) $63,402 through the Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Program.

    This grant came in support of the APJM’s efforts to preserve the wildlife and magnificent nature and rich sites of the Jabal Moussa Biosphere Reserve, which is part of the UNESCO Network of Biosphere Reserves as of 2009.

    The association was provided with firefighting equipment and training programs, aiming at enhancing the firefighting capability to ensure a safer living environment for at least 28,000 residents of the surrounding villages: Yahchouch, Qehmez, Jouret El-Thermos, Nahr El-Dahab, Ghbale, Aabri, and Chouwen.

    The equipment included fire extinguishers, water valves, pipes, fuel breaks, and a water supply network. The installation has been finalized, securing the villages with a fire suppression system, a project that is now completed.

    The Association for the Protection of Jabal Moussa has been relentless in preserving the reserve and its biodiversity.

    The reserve is also home to 750 species of flowers and trees, and a Global Important Bird Area (GBIA) of 137 bird species.
