1- In the short term , the financial resources spent on the project, that needed utilization of paid services provided by workers and professionals.
2- In the long term , the species selcted are beficial and usable by the community,such as carob tree,syrian pear,tanner's sumac,stone pine.and transforming ignored areas into areas where positive human activities without damaging or harming the forest.besides projects can take place like improving the sorrounding areas and enviromental tourism,and other work to be accomplished because of the presence of the forest
Stressing the importance of growing and protection the wild local forest species by setting good example of the cooperation between the community and government agencies regarding a mutual project benefiting our local region and our country in general.
Notable Community Participation
The project wil facilitate the direct involvement,participations,and short & long term benefits,and a new positive attitude towards our environment challenge that wil be carried on thru future generations,thru the volunter group work which is a new concept in our community by itself.
Promoting Public Awareness of Global Environment
what we are doing affect the global environment by creating positive ,scientific environmental awareness of the causes of pollution global warming and climate change and how to reduce its damaging effects,active community participation enforces the world efforts to show this as one of the most influential tools ,and this project allows our local community to do some of its role.

Number of afforestation campaigns that have been implemented, the number of trees and the target area.
1 - total acreage by the Association for the Protection of Nature, about 30 hectares. Much of this area is located in Mount Mushatta (Machta sweet), and Ms. Mount (Ulkipron).
2 - The General cultivate these spaces during Hmaat three consecutive (2010, 2011, 2012), because the success rate of saplings planted about 15%.
3 - The number of saplings planted by the Assembly during the past three years, about 25,000 seedlings. Also provided to other environmental associations, municipalities and the Directorate of Environment, about 10,000 seedlings.
Number of civil nurseries that have been implemented, and the current capacity.
The number of 38 participating nurseries eligibility. Comprising 32 ordinary nursery, nursery ranges accommodate one between 100 and 500 seedlings, and 6 large central nurseries, ranges, each of which accommodate between 3 and 20 thousand seedlings. Currently, the Assembly has maintained nurseries six large, currently capable of producing 30 thousand seedlings annually. They are distributed geographically different areas of the province:
- Aalghemsah (Sheikh Badr).
- Mushatta.
- Safsafa.
- Suedh (Safita).
- Safita.
- Ruwayssat bird (Safita).
Describe the long-term benefits.
- Environmental:
1 - biodiversity conservation forest.
2 - Increased forest greenery.
- Cultural:
Get the state of awareness of the problems plaguing the environment, particularly forests, participants pay a commitment to protecting the environment from degradation, and to participate in the re-repair.
Besides sequence assembly project in several ways:
- To identify the other species is studied.
- Attempt to discover other possible methods of plant breeding, and by focusing on one type or two types of study and experience every year.
- We discovered in the Assembly, and after starting the project to proceed, the importance of the goals that it contains. Since some of the target species, not only endangered, but almost extinct, so that the re-cultured became urgent, such as peaches and maple Bear.
New developments or difficulties or unexpected problems encountered:
- Delay in delivery of the tractor to the Assembly. This has led to increased costs, and the difficulty of implementing some of the stages, and delay the implementation of others.
- The difficulty or impossibility of communicating with many experiences outside the province, because of the general situation. So we had to use only local expertise.
- The absence of many of the cadres active in the Assembly, for reasons beyond its control, also related to the general situation. That led to the freezing of the section on archiving.
- Rising prices generally 50-100%.
Developments and unexpected difficulties encountered during implementation of the project:
The development platform, is expected, the overall situation is an emergency, since the first year of the project, which aggravate gradually, over the next year and the year that followed.
Actions taken to resolve these difficulties and developments:
Assembly was forced to postpone some stages, such as archiving. And to delay others, such as the distribution of seedlings and planting.
Notes / lessons learned from the project
Like almost all the experiments, we get to positive results, and the results are negative, be expected or unexpected.
1 - observations and negative lessons:
1-1 - at the Al Ahli:
1.1.1 - twice as big in environmental education, in general. This includes protection of natural resources, and the preservation of biodiversity. This is due to several factors: poverty, educational programs, media programs, poverty, poverty, environmental organizations, civil both financial and human.
1.1.2 - very weak in the culture of voluntary work, for subjective reasons stemming from the nature of society, and external causes stemming from legal and administrative obstacles that prevailed for a long time, and general reasons related to the absence of cadres.
1.1.3 - very weak in the culture of teamwork, for the same reasons mentioned above.
1-2 - the official holiday:
1.2.1 - difficulty or lack of communication and cooperation with many official bodies concerned, mm Inerk real barriers to the implementation of programs and projects proposed.
1.2.2 - lack of attention to the environmental issue. The environment remains a secondary references in the interests of political, social and others. And sometimes they are totally absent from these concerns.
1-2-3 - double the official and administrative cadres.
1.2.4 - the lack of cultural and educational programs and targeted process to create a state interest and awareness among people of the importance of forests, in terms of public and private alike.
2 - positive observations and lessons:
1-1 - have been identified by members of the Assembly, and the project participants, and the social environment, the need to preserve natural forests, and the need to increase the area.
1-2 - also have been identified, local forest species, and the species has become very rare, actually threatened with extinction.
1-3 - cooperation and coordination with the concerned authorities: the Directorate of Environment, Department of Forestry, mm contributed to the removal of some of the psychological barriers between civil society and official bodies.
1-4 - the increasing acceptance of the idea of ??voluntary work, and teamwork, the participants, friends and social environment.
