Nature
The environment is critical to sustainable existence of both human populations and wildlife in the Land of Canaan. Sharing of this land by people of varied religions and ethnicities is not possible without also sharing it with the living things that existed thee well before we humans showed up.
Towards this goal, we started the Holy Land Conservation Foundation which together with Wildlife Palestine acts to educate people and preserve the environment.

ACTION ALERT:
Big Money has shut down our "free" press. No one is taking a stand against the murder and the rape of Jordan 's only real forest. We only hear rosy tales about how great this project is in our free press. Ive sent a few articles to papers in Jordan and they were not allowed to go in print. With your help we can at least try to take a stand. Please help save our forest. Please do the following:
1- Sign petitions against the destruction of Jordan's only real forest.
2- Send this email to all your contacts.
To my friends outside of Jordan I have a special request: Please send this info to your press and to your government officials and representatives.
The world needs to know that a beautiful lone forest in Jordan is being raped by big money. The world needs to know that Jordanians are not even allowed to make a stand to try to save this forest in the press. Even our so called ministry of environment (which is supposed to protect our environment) is silent and even taking a positive stand in support of the rape of our forest.
