⚠️ Vanishing from Lebanon within our lifetime?

The Syrian Serin, once a familiar songbird in Lebanon, is now on the brink. Field studies show its population has declined alarmingly — with fewer than 5,000 individuals left worldwide.

The threats are real and growing:

  • ❌ Irresponsible hunting, as it is often mistaken for other small birds.
  • ❌ Overgrazing, destroying its nesting grounds.
  • ❌ Invasive species, such as the Common Myna and Hooded Crow.
  • ❌ Pesticides and random tree trimming, devastating its food sources.

Without urgent conservation action, the sweet call of the Syrian Serin could vanish forever from Lebanon’s mountains and valleys.
