Because of its location in the An-Nusayriyah Mountains, the Jawbat Burghal area is home to Syria's cedar, juniper, and pine trees. Around Jawbat Burghal are many hiking trails on the western part of the range where these trees thrive. Roughly 300 hectares of land around Jawat Burghal have C. Libani interspersed with other conifers and oaks. Conservation of these forests is highly threatened due to the massive unrest caused by the Syrian civil war and climate-change-induced forest fires. However, it must noted that cedar saplings from this region are highly resilient and have helped in reforesting many former cedar stands located in Lebanon. The region falls under the natural distribution of cedar forests in that region from southern Anatolia to the Homs gap and beyond into Lebanon and the Palestine frontier. Forest conservation and protection in Syria has severely been affected due to the Syrian civil war and rising climatic incidents like forest fires and drought.
