More about Lebanon
Climate
The Mediterranean climate has warm, dry summers. The precipitation, which falls mainly in winter, reaches an annual total of 850–920 mm on the coast, over 1,000 mm on the western side of the Lebanon Mountains (higher altitudes up to 2,000 mm; over 2,800 m above sea level year-round snow) and in the middle and southern Beka 500–900 mm (increasing to the south). The northern Beka, on the other hand, has a desert edge climate (rainfall around 300 mm). In winter, the temporary snow line can drop to 500 m above sea level. A sirocco-like hot air ingress in late spring brings temperatures of over 40 ° C.
Vegetation
In the Mediterranean vegetation, maquis and garigue predominate; the western roof of the Lebanon Mountains has pine and oak trees up to 1,200 m above sea level, above that there are firs and (only a few) Lebanon cedars. The tree line is 2,000 m above sea level. The originally dense high forests of the mountains have been degraded or completely disappeared by almost three millennia of overexploitation.
Wildlife
Dense settlement, intensive land use and civil war have severely decimated Lebanon’s wildlife. Lebanon is an important passage area for numerous bird species; in some reserves you can still find porcupines and wild cats. Eagles, buzzards and owls live in the mountains.
Population
Despite the common Arabic language, there are strong differences within the population. The most important differentiation of the Lebanese population is still today that according to religious communities. At the time of the constitution, Christians formed the majority; Since then, the proportion of Muslims has risen sharply due to immigration from neighboring Arab countries and higher Muslim birth rates, so that members of non-Christian religious communities now form the majority.
The population density is (2017) 595 residents / km 2. The most densely populated are the coastal strip and the western capping of the Lebanon Mountains. The share of the urban population is (2017) 88%. The biggest cities are Beirut, Tripoli, Sahla, Saida.
Since the middle of the 19th century people have been migrating, especially overseas. It is estimated that over 8 million Lebanese live abroad. The number of Palestine refugees registered by UNRWA in Lebanon is given as (2015) 485,000; Half of them still live in camps. According to the UNHCR, 1.02 million refugees (mainly from Syria) had entered the country by the end of 2017. This means that there are 164 refugees for every 1,000 residents in Lebanon, which is by far the highest figure in the world.

Religion
There is freedom of religion. The equality of the officially recognized religious communities is based on the declaration made by their leading representatives in 1943 (“National Pact”). 18 religious communities are officially recognized by the state (four Muslim, 12 Christian, plus the Druze and Jews).
The war-related migration movements are a problem for reliable statistical statements on religious affiliation. More than 58% of the legal (registered) residents are Muslims (including the Alawis): about equal parts (over 28% each) Shiites (Imamites) and Sunnis (majority Hanefites), approx. 1% Alawites. The Druze population is more than 5%.
Over 36% of the population profess Christianity: around 21% are Maronites, around 5% belong to the Melkites united with the Roman Catholic Church, around 5% of the Greek Orthodox Church (Patriarchate of Antioch). There are also followers of oriental national churches (Armenian Church, Syrian Orthodox Church [West Syrian Church; ” Jacobites “], Assyrochaldean Church [East Syrian Church; ” Nestorians «]), Which together also make up about 5%. The Apostolic Vicariate of Beirut exists for the small minority of Catholic Christians of the Latin rite. The likewise small number of Protestant Christians belong to various (post-) Reformation churches and communities (Baptists, Union of the Armenian Evangelical Churches, Pentecostals, among others, as well as Adventists and Mormons). The Jewish community (around 7,000 in 1948) has only a few members in Beirut today (emigration since the late 1960s).
