All nature reserves in Lebanon
are far from the nearest crowded residential area in Lebanon
(Beirut and
it suburbs). And nature reserves (such as Al-Shouf Nature Reserve, Tannourine Nature
Reserve, and Ehden Nature Reserve) are at a high altitude where roads are
completely closed in the winter season because of snow. Other coastland nature
reserves (such as SourCoast
and PalmIsland)
are opened only 2-3 months every year during in the summer season.
And from a different perspective,
the construction of roads, bridges and buildings is evolving more and more with
the rapid increase of the population and the mere absence of rural development which
leads to an over crowdedness in the urban areas and its suburbs.
BEIRUT: Interior Minister Ziyad Baroud launched a series of workshops Tuesday in the qada of Baabda aimed at preventing and fighting forest fires.

Des civils apprennent les techniques de lutte contre les incendies, pour porter main-forte à la Défense civile en cas de sinistre.
L'importance du rôle des civils dans l'intervention précoce pour l'extinction des feux de forêt est de plus en plus mise en évidence. Une session de formation a été organisée pour eux dans la forêt de Baabda.
