The Society for the Protection of Nature in Lebanon (SPNL) is a conservation organization dedicated to protecting Lebanon’s biodiversity and natural heritage. Its work centers on reviving the Hima, a community-based approach that involves local people in caring for nature and supports sustainable development, climate resilience, and peace. Through Hima sites and related projects, SPNL works to conserve habitats, wildlife, and migratory birds while encouraging communities to protect natural resources.

Its programs include an Anti-Poaching Unit and a Fish and Wildlife Unit, alongside initiatives such as the SNOW Program, Homat Al Hima, Hima Farm, and Doroub Al-Hima. The organization also supports butterfly conservation, natural parks, and biodiversity monitoring, sharing information through its Butterflies of Lebanon project, Al-Hima magazine, publications, and online resources. SPNL offers opportunities to volunteer, donate, learn, and connect with its conservation work. As a member of the BirdLife International network, it contributes to wider efforts to protect birds and their habitats while advancing the Hima model in Lebanon and beyond.
