Lebanon Launches First National Bird Distribution Map within Key Biodiversity Areas In a groundbreaking step for environmental conservation, the Society for the Protection of Nature in Lebanon (SPNL) has unveiled the country’s first comprehensive map detailing bird species distribution within Lebanon’s Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs). Developed in collaboration with GIS and remote sensing expert Bilal Alaouiyeh, this 2025 achievement is the first of its kind in the Middle East, setting a new standard for integrating biodiversity data with advanced spatial analysis. A Unique Natural Crossroads Lebanon’s position along the eastern Mediterranean, combined with its mountainous terrain and mild climate, makes it a critical stopover for migratory birds traveling along global flyways. https://www.spnl.org/lebanon-launches-first-national-bird-distribution-map-within-key-biodiversity-areas/?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=jetpack_social
