A project oriented NGO that brings together Jordanian, Palestinian, and Israeli environmentalists. Their primary objective is the promotion of cooperative efforts to protect their shared environmental heritage. They “seek to advance both sustainable regional development and the creation of necessary conditions for lasting peace in” the region. They do so through both grassroots action and advocacy; approaching “cross border environment and peacebuilding issues by first developing a regional strategy and developing a common vision as to how we might be able to influence decision makers, the media and the general public.”
