On the occasion of World Environment Day and World Oceans Day, we would like to celebrate the commitment of our friends at The Human Environmental Association for Development (HEAD) and all those who continue to work tirelessly for environmental protection, community engagement, and peace in Lebanon.
On June 7, together with the municipalities of Byblos and Barbara, HEAD is organizing a coastal clean-up campaign as part of the Mediterranean network of Legambiente, which connects organizations across 21 countries in a shared effort to protect the sea and marine ecosystems that unite our region.
At a time when Lebanon continues to face immense challenges, our thoughts are with its people and communities. Lebanon is a beautiful country, rich in history, culture, resilience, and extraordinary human warmth. We stand in solidarity with all those who are suffering and continue to hope and work for a just, lasting, and peaceful future based on human dignity, rights, and mutual respect.
Our support and appreciation also go to the many Lebanese organizations, schools, educators, young activists, and volunteers who, for years, have been building pathways toward peace, environmental protection, and cooperation. Their dedication reminds us that caring for nature and caring for people are deeply connected.
🌱🌊 Cleaning a beach is about much more than removing waste. It is a powerful act of stewardship, responsibility, and hope for future generations. Every action taken to protect our coasts and seas contributes to a healthier, more sustainable, and more peaceful Mediterranean.
Thank you to everyone involved in this important initiative, and special thanks to Marie and Mary for their dedication, leadership, and unwavering commitment to environmental action and peace.
