...Leave Only Footprint

 

Whether you are a tourist from a distant country or a Lebanese, you will find that Nature Reserves in Lebanon are exciting places to visit. You may want to opt for a swim in the sea, or hike through the forests, go bird watching, or discover a multitude of rare flowers. You can admire the blue waters around the islands on a boat tour, or just sit under the majestic cedars.

Whatever you choose to do, keep in mind that the Nature Reserves have been established to be enjoyed by generations to come. For that purpose the visitor is asked to abide by the following rules:

 

1. Visit the Reserves only at the times and places permitted for the public. Other visits must obtain authorization.

2. Guard against all risk of fire! Do not light campfires or throw cigarettes.

3. Protect plants and wildlife! Stay on the trails, do not pick flowers, or damage trees. Hunting (fishing) or trapping animals is forbidden.

4. Enjoy the peace and tranquillity. Noise disturbs wildlife, so don't shout and leave your stereo in the car.

5. Leave no litter! Garbage is disfiguring and can cause fires or injuries to wildlife.

6. Follow the directions of the rangers at all times.
