Christell Artinian
I accidentally stumbled upon Wolves of Lebanon while trying to figure out how to give back to nature and I’m so glad that I did! They have truly helped me in understanding the fundamentals of nature/wildlife and how to love and protect the land we live in. I recommend joining our community as I’ve seen the passion and the experience that goes into the programs they provide! 🙂
Marianne Ziadeh
A place where you can truly connect with nature.
If you’re looking to deepen your knowledge of the outdoors: how to protect nature, understand fauna and flora conservation, learn about endangered and extinct species, and discover how you can contribute to conservation efforts; or if you want to sharpen your skills in shelter building, climbing, and ethical or survival camping, this is the community to join. The friendly members and rangers are passionate about the outdoors and very respectful of nature.
Christine Kettaneh
My experience with Wolves of Lebanon was very valuable. I gained both knowledge and practical skills that made me feel more confident and better prepared for the outdoors—from identifying endangered, dangerous, invasive, and beneficial species, to learning how to tie knots and build fire pits. I was impressed by the group’s deep respect for nature and commitment to biodiversity conservation. The members are ethical, passionate, and truly inspiring.
