Protected Areas in the Syrian Arab Republic
Protected areas in Syria receive very good attention from the scientific community. Their legislation and administration are still at early stages and would need further development.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform is cooperating with the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Higher Education as well as with community based organizations in reviewing and evaluating in-situ conservation. Many areas hosting various biodiversity components were also invariably suggested by the scientific community in Syria.
Moreover, the Ministry of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform has established a set of protected areas specialized in rangeland conservation practices.
