Promoting the Domestication and Culture of
Aromatic and Edible Wild Plants in the Hermel and Shmostar areas
The Hermel Region is a highly deprived area in Lebanon

population resorted to illicit crops for at least two decades that
ended up with the end of the civil war. Several international projects

trade with a limited success. The result was a collapse in a booming
local economy and increased migration from the region towards the
cities... Read More

Hitting more than 100 km of the Lebanese coast, more than 50 km of the Syrian coast and still moving Northwards, this spill could be considered as one of the largest environmental disasters in the Mediterranean history.
