Restoring Our Environment: The struggle to heal a land degraded by occupation

In this webinar, Dr. Mazin Qumsiyeh will describe the catastrophic environmental impact of Israeli settler colonialism on the land of Palestine. He will also share how Palestinian civil society organizations are working to research, educate about and conserve Palestine’s natural world, culture and heritage in the face of the Israeli state’s human rights and environmental abuses. The talk will be followed by a Q&A.
