The Youth National Development, in collaboration with interested associations, is organizing a campaign to raise awareness about forest fires, which are considered a priority before the summer season. This initiative is to increase awareness of the dangers of forest fires and to promote preventive actions and necessary measures to mitigate these devastating natural disasters. These initiatives typically include several aspects:
• Public education for developing safe behaviors
• Encouraging early action: Emphasizing the importance of rapid response to early fires and teaching people how to recognize danger signs and report them.
• Training and development: Providing training courses and skills development for volunteers in the field of climate change and how to remove fire hazards and raise awareness among civil defense.
• Partnerships and collaboration: Building partnerships between local governments, charities, and the private sector to enhance prevention and awareness efforts.
• Clearing part of the forest in the Damour region: The campaign will be launched among all associations on Sunday, June 9, in all Lebanese regions to clear harmful weeds that pose a significant risk to trees to prevent fires.
These initiatives are essential for preserving forests, addressing climate change challenges, and achieving sustainable development for affected communities.
