Stop Arab Highway @ Baabda Forest

To: Lebanese government

We ask the Lebanese government to stop the execution of the Arab Highway part in Baabda planned 40  years ago and save the last wild forest near Beirut where millions need to meet nature and discover God's gift to us...

Your signature will help us convince the Ministry of public affairs/ the CDR that Lebanese citizens prefer the forest and find that the new Al Sayad - Jamhour road is a good alternative for the Arab Highway.

المحميات الطبيعية تعيد التوازن البيئي المفقود ، هل يجوز ان ندع مخربي الطبيعة دون محاسبة، أين وزارة البيئة من هذا الموضوع؟ اين الجمعيات البيئية لا تصرخ وتدعي إلى عصيان بيئي شامل يشمل كل المحميات في لبنان ؟ نحنا معك بول ومع محمية بعبدا ولن ندع اي اوتوستراد عربي ولا غيره أن يمر حتى بمحاذاة المحمية ، حلنا بقى نحمي طبيعة لبنان فقدناها وصارت من التاريخ...

لازم وزارة البيئة عندما تعطي رأيها بالموضوع ان تأخذ بعين الاعتبار وضع الغابة وتمنع التعدي عليها فللوزارة دور في تقييم الأثر البيئي

نتمنى عليكم مراسلة وزارة البيئة ووضعها امام مسؤولتها في هذا الموضوع

This is the LAST Biodiversty Forest in Beruit.Plants that are used to make Medicine,will be Gone Forever,and the Wild Life That Lives there Require those plants to Sustain their Lifes.When will it Be Ur Last Country Side.Parish The Thot.

The arabs & destruction are an unseparable twin! We do not need an arab highway as much as we need to preserve what's left after the great war! Our beloved nation has no vast deserts but small rich pockets of natural reserves providing fresh air, habitat & biodivesrsity for native flora & fauna..STOP destroying our nation & our way of life..People visit Lebanon to enjoy its majestic sceneries & to inhale the medicinal air of the green Pine not to come & cruise on our highways..For highway...

Is a name like Fares Bou-Daher Arabic? If so, how could you write [quoting you]: The arabs & destruction are an unseparable twin! We do not need an arab highway as much as we need to preserve what's left after the great war!

One forest is nothing compared to a whole city (Beirut) lacking green space! Plant trees and create parks in Beirut neighborhoods. The existing road between Beirut and the rest of the Arab world is outdated, dangerous and endangers many areas along the way. You guys must live a modern life (including peace) as the current Lebanese way of life appears pathetic: A lot of smokers; drivers cannot wait on red traffic lights; very disrespectful and tribal-like relations between one citizen and another... I visited Lebanon once and I realize that you need a lot of work on your infrastructure. Work on the infrastructure and please stop complaining (also stop smoking).

Fares Bou-Daher

Fares Bou-Daher? No & No again & No till eternity! I do not hold an arabic name nor I am an arab! I am a Lebanese citizen who speaks, writes & reads Lebanese arabic just like the rest of the world's citizens read, write and speak English but that doesn't mean that they are English!!!!!!!! As for my beloved country needing a lot of work, of course it does and which country in Europe, Asia or the west still doesn't need a lot of work!!!!! What we have in Lebanon, the whole world has at a grander scale!! Smokers, bad drivers, corrupt people, theives, killers, drug barons and whatever else you mention we have imported from the west... At least we still have faith, respect & dignity and the father never raped his daughter yet or a gun crazy idiot hasn't gone to a school to kill for pleasure..I kindly request from people to see the beam in their eye before seeing the splinter in others..When your house is made of glass don't go out throwing stones on other's houses.. The west & europe should leave other countries well alone and keep their nose in their own affairs..Christian Lebanon & the Christian Lebanese are as far from the arabs as Germany & the Germans are from the arabs..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Activons-nous pour arreter le massacre de nos forets. Il est temps que la societe civile au Liban fasse bouger les choses vu la passivite de nos gouvernants.

But at the end "IT IS THE AGE OF STUPID"!
WHAT IS BEING HUMAN TO THE LEBANESE PEOPLE?
Reaching the skies is a dream just like hearing the symphony of lies played by Modern Lebanon symbolising a break down of so called civilization and culture.
There is a beast in every Lebanese, Wolfs snatching humanity in a massacre of so called governmentals covered with greed, putrified, deceased, robust and auto destructive NOT even thinking of their hills or their flowers or their enviornment and most...

اتمنى على وزارة الاشجال العامة ان يطعتفو و يقبلو اردة الشعب اللذي يريد الغابات و التشجير و ليس فتح الورق

NOUS DEVONS tous nous mobiliser pour sauver notre patrimoine de quelque nature que ce soit, et laisser à nos enfants une terre comme nos parents nous l' ont transmise et nos grands parents avant eux, , avant qu'il ne soit trop tard.....
