Hunting Cartridge Cleanups

It is essential to highlight the issues that are going unnoticed on our rural grounds, more specifically, ones concerning hunting. 25 million cartridges per year are being left on the hunting fields, leaving the whole place in utter waste and adding insult to injury on the numerous pollution problems in our country. The United Nations Development Program –Live Lebanon- in collaboration with the National Commission for Lebanese Women and Live Love Beirut took the lead in this volunteering activity that motivates hunters to benefit the environment on the 19^th of November 2017 from Keserwen in addition to other areas including Douma and Mahray.

With the help of the municipalities, we managed to provide customized bins made especially for the hunters, making it easier for them to help the environment by throwing their cartridges inside instead of leaving them on the ground. We are also delighted to have NDU provide us with a machine that is able to sort out copper and plastic. A special thanks to everyone who made it happen, our volunteers from Lebanon, Jordan, Lybia, Germany & Tunisia, head of the national committee for Lebanese Women Claudine Aoun Roukoz,  Youth and Gender Ambassador Ray Bassil, our Champ Silvio Chiha, Mazaat  for providing delicious food, Eghbeh Mokhtar Patrick Hokayem and Mr. Juan Hobeich for providing a warehouse to store the cartridges.
