Synopsis (short abstract) In Lebanon, forests and other wooded lands provide a wide range of ecosystem products and services. In 2014, the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) initiated with the support of FAO Lebanon the process of developing the National Afforestation/Reforestation Program (NARP), also known as the “40 Million Trees Program”. The program aims at planting 40 million forest trees in public lands within the next 20 years FAO is contributing to this Program by planting more than 500 000 seedlings on an area up to 1000 ha and managing around 1000 ha of existing forests, with local NGOs and partners.
