Eco-sumud: Ecocide and Resistance in Palestine

War is not only human violence - it is climate violence. Direct conflict and its use of modern weapons, pre-conflict military activities (preparation for wars), and post-conflict issues (like scarred landscape or left-over munitions) severely harm biodiversity and ecosystems. We can see all of these tragic impacts in the Israeli occupation of Palestine.  Nevertheless, a significant movement for environmental justice and sustainability is growing even under the very difficult conditions of occupation and colonization.

Dr. Mazin Qumsiyeh is the founder and director of the Palestine Institute for Biodiversity and Sustainability, Bethlehem University, Bethlehem, Palestine and a professor and researcher at Bethlehem and Birzeit Universities.
