There is still so much goodness in the world despite the horrors of genocide and ecocide ongoing. Writing to you from Larnaca airport after a very productive meeting that taught us a lot about conserving plants and habitats in the Mediterranean region. Met so many nice people, Potential Collaborations in areas ranging from seedbanking (a new project at our institute) to protected area management (ongoing projects). Now off to Jordan for one week then Lebanon for exchanges and work on biosphere reserves. Meanwhile our institute and museum continue working (see palestinenature.org) and yesterday traveled with the mobile museum and today hosted hosted many children for educational programs. Please connect with us, support us if you can or network us with others especially in Lebanon and Jordan.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then

you win. - Mahatma Gandhi

I'm an old Pogo fan. For some unknown reason I persist in outrage at Feudalism, as if human beings can do much better than this. Our old ways of life are obsolete and are killing us. Will the human race wake up in time? Stay tuned...
