The horrors facing our people and all of humanity are beyond description. Every day we see he ongoing genocide and etnic cleansing, the ecocide, the culturicide and much more. But we also get inspiration from so many people working hard for peace for justice (including environmental justice) for people and for our shared planet. For example the team is working with students attending our latest summer camp - this one focused on cultural heritage for youth ages 12-16. To see this and our other activities, visit.
Please see this very short (6.5 minutes) video about our work and support by volunteering remotely or in person (palertinenature.org/volunteer) and/or donating ( palestinenature.org/donations) (and we need the support for the new museum of natural history and exhibits).
