Lebanon Seizes 21000m² of Bird Nets Reasons for Ban
The General Directorate of the Internal Security Forces in Lebanon carried out a large-scale operation in the Bekaa region to seize approximately 21,000 square meters of bird hunting nets. This action was based on reports and video footage showing illegal hunting activities. These fine-mesh nets are used to catch birds and have been declared illegal in Lebanon since hunting law No. 580/2004 because they cannot distinguish between legally permissible and protected bird species. Their use leads to indiscriminate hunting and the slaughter of large numbers of birds, especially migratory ones. Internationally, there is no global ban on the use of these nets, but there are international agreements and guidelines aimed at reducing their use to protect endangered species. It is worth noting that this hunting method has been used in Lebanon for over 20 years and is considered environmentally harmful, resulting in massacres of thousands of migratory birds despite existing laws banning it.
