Tenders Are Invited For Experts In Terrace Restoration To Deliver A Training Cycle To Farmers in Lebanon

Work Detail

Tenders are invited for Experts in Terrace Restoration to Deliver a Training Cycle to Farmers within the Shouf Biosphere Reserve. Lebanon is a highly mountainous country with extreme variability in climatic conditions, soils, and socio-economic status. With the growth of population, increasing urbanisation, it is certain that natural resources are under over-exploitation. Lebanon, being a small country, is a favourite area for the study and conservation of various flora and fauna. For each geographical region characterised by its own sociological features, there is a group of special plants and animals that reflect certain particular ecological conditions. However, this variability and the favourable climatic conditions are the direct cause for human overpopulation which exercises severe destructive pressures on the environment and endangers the biodiversity state. To help conserve and raise awareness on the territory, Shouf Biosphere Reserve, under the project is planning to provide farmers with a six-day training on biodiversity indicators using a field-based approach that combines theoretical knowledge with practical fieldwork. Participants will join a field trip where they will gain hands-on experience in the principles and techniques of biodiversity sampling, data collection analysis, and write-up. The training also introduces participants to citizen science initiatives and their role in collecting biodiversity data. This unit provides a well-rounded and experiential understanding of conserving biodiversity and the challenges that poses, and how to make informed decisions and take positive action towards the conservation and sustainable management of Lebanons biological heritage.
