Friday, August 18, 12:00 PM EDT - In person at the Jerusalem Fund & Palestine Center 2425 Virginia Ave NW Washington, DC

Our world reels under the weight of human-induced climate change, habitat destruction, pollution, and conflict, casting a shadow of suffering over all life forms, including our own. Yet, hope flickers in the form of nature-based solutions that can forge sustainable communities. By rallying together, we can confront environmental injustice and combat the pressing issues of our time – from inequality to racism and colonialism.

Join us for a conversation with Dr. Mazin Qumsiyah. He will illuminate a path of promise, sharing inspiring examples of progress and resilience, with a poignant focus on Palestine.

Dr. Qumsiyeh is a professor at Bethlehem University and the founder and volunteer director of the Palestine Institute for Biodiversity and Sustainability (PIBS) at Bethlehem University (Palestine Institute for Biodiversity and Sustainability (palestinenature.org)). He has published widely on topics ranging from cultural heritage to human rights to biodiversity conservation to cancer; among his many books is Popular Resistance in Palestine. He oversaw a number of projects ranging from formulating the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan to empowerment projects with farmers, women, and children that benefitted tens of thousands.
