LebanonPostcard presents a value book: Green Lebanon: The Book showcases what remains of Lebanon's forests covering only 13 % of the 10,452 sq km that constitute Lebanon's area. To record and to present, to capture and to communicate, Green Lebanon: The Book offers, by way of exclusive artistic photos, a representative selection of forest species and views from all over Lebanon. Yet the book within your hands is much more than a book. It is the second step in the environmental initiative launched by the authors of this book, Pascale Choueri Saad and Lara Hanna Debs, to save Lebanon's forests. The first step in the Green Lebanon initiative consisted of creating a line of cedar-shaped jewelry that succeeded in raising 62.000 USD. This amount was used to restore 6000 pine and olive trees across Lebanon's North, South, and Mount Lebanon. All returns from Green Lebanon: The Book will be donated to the Association for Forests, Development and Conservation (AFDC) for the purpose of reforesting what forest fires have burned down.

A Word from the Authors:

Dear Lebanese, Lebanon lovers and friends,

Lebanon's forests are under serious threat, with forest fires in most cases deliberately set, playing a major role in their degradation and bringing about huge social, economic and environmental effects.

We believe there is a strong need to put in place an effective way of drawing attention to the enormous damages and environmental tragedy that our beloved country is encountering.

We need to reach, as quickly and efficiently as possible, people hat are receptive, and get them to help us.

By showing in images throughout "Green Lebanon: The Book" how Lebanon is beautifully green, we wish to touch the hearts of the Lebanese and to sensibly awaken them to the natural treasure we have today but might lose tomorrow.

Our cause is to keep Lebanon Green and we will win. It is inevitable. Most people, we have found, are open to help, and once we get their attention, and they look at the facts, agree with us: Taking action is an urge!

Today, with you buying our book, we have found the most response and you have integrated our struggle as your own: Save the forests of Lebanon from fires. Keep Lebanon Green!

The funds raised through the book will help take us one step closer to achieve our goal towards the reforestation of Lebanon.

It promised to be a spectacular start to the year 2009. All proceeds from the sale of the book will go to AFDC (Association for Forests, Development and Conservation) to assist along with the Ministry of Environment and ongoing support for environmental issues in Lebanon.

It's an opportunity to raise much-needed funds and awareness for the tragic state of Lebanon's environment.

Lebanon will remain an evergreen country.
