Actual environmental genocide
A natural reserve is measured by the life and biodiversity it preserves, whereas the populist reserve preserves nothing but its owners' inability to deliver a real achievement.
Whoever wants to defend them should start by reading their laws, and should tell the Lebanese what he has actually done to preserve them.
We wished to see the "rampant keenness" when the reserves needed funding, management plans and actual protection, not for it to suddenly surface when a technical and legal file is turned into material for political bickering or showy competition, as if the electoral bazaar had started early for some.
Confronting forest fires does not begin when firefighting teams arrive, but years before that
Al-Zein addressed Lebanon's environmental damages, describing them as an "actual environmental genocide" and presenting them to the world.
