About the project
Natura Libanotica is a peer-reviewed citizen-science project launched in 2026 after more than a year of preparation behind the scenes.
The objective of this initiative is to document the biodiversity of Lebanon and create an open-access database of the fauna, flora and funga of the country, supporting research, education, and conservation efforts. Moreover, the project includes fossils from different taxa and geological ages discovered in Lebanon.
Through this project and other future activities, we are working on raising awareness and promoting appreciation for our natural heritage.
