Important Bird Area Research & Conservation

From March 2005 to February 2008, with funding from the MAVA trust, scientists and bird experts from A Rocha Lebanon and SPNL (BirdLife’s national partner in Lebanon) conducted the most extensive bird research project ever undertaken in Lebanon. Over 30 sites were surveyed, through the seasonal cycle, for bird and other biodiversity importance.

Who we are
International Trustees and International Team

International Council of Reference
The International Council of Reference is a group of eminent professionals who support and promote A Rocha in their life and work.

National Committees and National Teams
Each National Team is guided by a National Committee that brings a wide range of expertise to the developing projects. Each team works on community-based conservation projects, sometimes from field study centres which have been established in Canada, the Czech Republic, France, India, Kenya, Portugal, Uganda and the UK.

Supporters
All the A Rocha teams are dependent on the support of A Rocha members and friends from around the world. Supporters contribute in so many ways: by serving as volunteers on committees or at our centres, by their prayers and financial help, and by their ideas and encouragement.
