The biodiversity of Lebanon stretches over large areas all through the south and at elevated mountain levels. The forests are packed in two fundamental areas: the Litani River - Wadi Al-Hujair and the South-East of Tire - Bint Jbeil.
The valley of Izziyah - Zibqin and its reefs extend more than 16 km, to Yatar, Ramia, Salani, Shihin, Beit Leif, Wadi El Oyoun and Majdal Zun conquering a primary territory, evaluated at more than 20 square kilometers. Different forests are likewise spread parallel to the reefs of the valley to the outskirt with Palestine.
Elements of the valley:
The valley of Zibqin is portrayed by correspondence and capacitance with a distance across that surpasses, in a few areas, 3.6 km of forested zones. These qualities are not accessible at any other area in Jabal Amel.
In addition to the thickness of the woods, the valley is portrayed by the biodiversity of its plants, which has given a more extensive differing qualities in the science of the biology valley. Among the many species that need broad reviews are the owl, oak and pine, where the valley incorporates the last pine woodland in the locale, the Chernobyl and others.
The differences of the valley likewise expanded the science of the springs, the most essential of which were (from east to west): the spring of al-Azziyah, the spring of the puff, the spring of the murkiness, the eye of the reeds, the spring of the dalafa, the spring of Ein al-Tina, the spring of the tannour.
Springs, however little, assume a key part in improving biodiversity. Where it is a wellspring of differing plant qualities, which provides the principal level of the food chain, which are topped by assortments of herbivores followed by carnivores.
It is a key element for the strength of numerous creatures, birds, reptiles and amphibians in their natural environment, and also the reliance of some of them on their full presence (fish, creatures of land and water, water parasites and water bugs).
This also Increases the peculiarity of the valley’s diffusion system, which gives extra property to the dynamic arrangement of the valley. Moreover, the delight in its own particular ecological framework, and sheds light of profundity and introduction and an extraordinary chance to distinguish the most seasoned sorts of life existing in the location.
Some of these sediments are 25 meters wide, 35 meters deep and 10 meters high (at the entrance), just like the case of the cave of the puff, and the close-by Salhani, which is around twenty, where wild pigeons and bats duplicate and harbor numerous other creature species.
Valley of Zibqin, with these qualities, made a one of a kind and rich ecosystem in this territory of Lebanon. It is home to several plant and tree species that have been annihilated in numerous other ranges, which constituted the principal level of vegetation for the environment. This permitted the recuperation of the second level of herbivores. The third level of the environment and its evolved way of life are predators of the carnivorous and potentially the fourth level, which is additionally a flesh eater yet a substantial one that does not surpass another level and sits on the top of the food chain and the ecosystem.
These creatures include: Planned hyenas, red foxes, porcupines, wild pigs, guinea pigs, wild felines, brilliant jackals, cutters, rough lilies and different assortments. In addition to many winged creature species, including: Bashq and bird of prey Shaheen and the discipline of extensive Asaf and assortments of collections and pigeons land and Yamam notwithstanding bats as specified previously.
