Ibsar launched its Biodiversity Village Award (BVA) or “Baldati Beati” on June 9, 2011, at the Commodore Hotel, Beirut, Lebanon, under the program Power of Planting. This project which is funded by the Coca-Cola Foundation was conceived to stress the significant contribution of villages to nature conservation through various local environmental efforts and actions. For this first year of the project, Ibsar invited 21 towns to participate in the competition on account of their previous reforestation collaborations with the center. The participating towns along with Ibsar team will engage in participatory mapping workshops which will guide village communities through a self-assessment process resulting in the development of green village portfolios. These portfolios will include environmental, social, and cultural layers of the town.
