Our Future
The future of Lebanese Wildlife relies on the compassion and support of our community. Your contributions are essential to our mission and our ability to provide expert care to injured and orphaned wild animals.
At present, all rescued wildlife are cared for in private homes. But our vision is bigger, we are working toward building Lebanon’s first dedicated wildlife hospital, fully equipped with the veterinary and rehabilitation facilities needed to ensure proper treatment, recovery, and long-term well-being.
With your help, we can turn this dream into a reality.
Our Vision
We envision a future where Lebanon’s biodiversity thrives, with empowered communities safeguarding wildlife and fostering harmony for the benefit of all.
