art and biodiversity: Wild lebanese orchids Series

Inspired by the Photography of Khaled Sleem
and Supported by AUB Nature Conservation Center, American University of Beirut
The initiative for Biodiversity studies in Arid
 

It is my joy to study and admire the beauty of these wild orchids from my homeland in all of their shapes forms and colors.
I never knew that wild orchids exist in Lebanon. The photographs of Khaled Sleem were so beautiful, interesting, and inspiring.

 “A photo is a document that the thing is there, that it exists. By filming nature you can capture it, take it with you, make it your own, and show it to others without destroying it”. AUB Nature Conservation, AUB 

 After reading about AUB Nature Conservation, AUB  and learning about biodiversity and the need of nature conservation, I decided on working to help, through art and my love of nature, other individuals to better understand the value of biodiversity and being concerned about protecting our nature anywhere in the world.
