The Association for the Protection of Jabal Moussa (APJM), a lebanese non-governmental, not-for-profit Organization, was founded in 2007 by prominent professionals from the region and a few well known public figures who were all driven by the same cause: protecting the rich biodiversity of Jabal Moussa and its cultural heritage from increasing external threats.
