Hello Ali,
are you able to show pictures of the other plants and animals on the Akkar trail? I think that there are new insects being recorded in the area?

Hi peter ;
Akkar includes about 80% of the biological diversity found in Lebanon, and we are working on research with a personal effort, and for this we need your donation, so protecting this diversity is a duty for us, because it is witnessing a great threat due to urbanization that is decreasing in biodiveristy
You can follow akkar trail on facebook and instagram
And if you want donate via paypal

Could you show us pictures of the Akkar trail please Ali? The links to the insects are fascinating, and beetles which eat slugs  sound interesting...
