There is two organizations that works on Cedars related matters, which
are the SPNL (the Society for the Protection of Nature in Lebanon) and the
FCF (the Freinds of the Cedar Forest).
Following is the breif description of the FCF Comitee and it's activities
then a report of the SPNL about the cedar in Lebanon.
the friends of the cedar forest committee:

e.w.beals of the aub, published in the journal of ecology -
volume 53, pages 679 to 694.

Here is the preliminary report on the Cedars of Lebanon that
was prepared by the SPNL. I hope it helps some of you and I encourage
anybody who is interested in joining SPNL to do so. If you would like
more information about SPNL, I will be more than happy to send you
a full brochure about them.
