Celebrating International Wildlife Day - Planting more trees in Palestine
It's also an opportunity to remember that land has given us the raw materials to make the food and create crafts which then became our cultural history.
We have so many beautiful and important trees in Palestine like the Kaikab (Arbutus andrachne) and Carob (Ceratonia siliqua). The olive tree is an easy and very important example also. Palestinians glorify this tree, not only because its a symbol of peace and resilience, but because it also gives us olives, oil, and olive wood, from which we make artifacts by which we communicate our traditions and love to the holy land.
What a beautiful way to think about this connection that we are lucky to have with our land! But unluckily, every time we think about this we feel very threatened; was it because of the occupation which keeps cutting our trees to build illegal settlements, or because of modern civilization which is destroying our mountains to build sky-scrapers; leaving no place for our trees and the animals living in them.
Mashjar Juthour's mission is to preserve, plant, educate and re-engage the community of the importance of rebuilding and maintaining our relationship with nature.

We think that identifying wildflowers is very important for several reasons, to mention a few:
2) Many of the wildflowers are edible or have great medicinal value.
3) They help build and sustain healthy soil which we need to grow our food and plant our trees.
