Identifying biodiversity-related success factors of ecological restoration projects

Description :

The project focuses on determining biodiversity-related success factors of ecological restoration projects in a biodiversity hotspot of Lebanon, Mount Lebanon. It will consider the role of wildlife in ecological restoration processes, by studying what different animals disperse, in relation to different plant species over different time frames. Diverse plants that can sustain wildlife year round will be identified to promote the sustainability of the restored ecosystem and its natural regeneration. Given its novel character in associating different concerned biodiversity partners, this study will constitute a cornerstone to all subsequent reforestation actions in Lebanon and in the Eastern Mediterranean region. ​
