Agriculture Minister's Forest Fire Alert
Minister of Agriculture Nizar Hani issued a circular aimed at enhancing wildfire and forest fire prevention measures in Lebanon through proactive vegetation management. The circular includes organizing maintenance, thinning, and clearing works to remove combustible plant material, in cooperation with municipalities and environmental associations, and implementing strict monitoring programs to enforce violations. It also emphasizes regulating grazing, permitting it only in unburned areas and under strict conditions, while banning grazing in burned or legally prohibited zones, with the goal of reducing the risk of fires spreading and ensuring the natural renewal of vegetation. The Minister of Agriculture affirms that prevention begins with sustainable preventive forest management, not just firefighting after outbreaks, and stresses strengthening partnerships with the local community and relevant stakeholders to achieve more effective protection of the forest resources.
