Jabal Moussa

The Jabal Moussa Biosphere Reserve which overlooks the Mediterranean sea to the west is a true mosaic of ecological systems broadly representing the “evergreen sclerophylic broussailles and forests” biogeographic region within a Mediterranean biome. A dominant feature of this biosphere reserve is its pristine world of steep, verdant mountainsides rising from a river lined with cool, aromatic sycamore trees to reach summits of statue-like karstic rocks. The mountainous relief gives rise to a number ofeco-zones, thus promoting diversity harbouring many species. Read more about this biosphere reserve on the UNESCO Biosphere Reserves website.
