The highway above us: Why millions of migratory birds pass through Lebanon
Every spring and autumn, Lebanon becomes part of a vast route linking Europe and Asia with Africa. More than 400 bird species have been recorded in the country, while millions of birds may cross its mountains, valleys and wetlands during migration. But reaching Lebanon is only part of the journey. The birds must also find food, shelter and a safe place to rest.
