ANOTHER ROCKY-LAND IS GOING TO GET LIGHT POLLUTED!

Year after year the construction work is invading the Lebanese mountains...

Year after year the construction work is invading the Lebanese mountains, at the cost of our beautiful rock formation or even some beautiful landscapes, and this invasion won’t stop in such a small country where its population is increasing rapidly.
All these buildings and villas conquering the mountains randomly, without any urban planning, will directly lead in the increase of street lights and light pollution (add to this the solar panels’ lights with its cold temperature implemented).

Lebanese landscapes are shrinking and getting smaller year after year, nature is suffering just like landscape photographers…
With time passing, we are facing a huge change within the landscapes: Areas we used to visit are no longer the same. Some places became obsolete for us, night photographers.

Faqra, a village rich with the stunning rock formation, nature took thousands of years to create, where we can find huge limestone kasrt, where precipitation took part refining these rocks giving them a beautiful shape. It is very sad to see that these natural sculptures are vanishing and some construction is taking place instead.

Sign of construction:

Recently after a short visit to that place we got stopped by a construction billboard right in the middle of these rocks, this kind of concrete invasion pace won’t stop in a country were no urban plans are clear.
I believe in ten years from now these rocks will no longer exist anymore and that is great loss for our beautiful landscape and nature.


What should be done to break such invasion?
– New firm laws concerning urban planning must be imposed.
– A new survey must be done to preserve what’s left from these rocks and landscapes.
– Natural reserves must increase, by the help of environmental experts and some competent ministries.
– Ecological campaigns must take place to shed lights on the impact of that concrete expansion over our ecological system.
