Mahmiyat.ps project presents photographs of biodiversity to local authorities
27 July 2022

The Mahmiyat.ps project presented a number of photographs of the biodiversity in various natural areas in Salfit, Deir Istiya, Naqoura, Sebastia and Tammoun. The photos are on display in public centers and in local community centers.

These photographs came through a project with the support of the Hanns Seidel Foundation. The project was also in cooperation with Palestine Society for Environment and Sustainable Development, the Environmental Quality Authority and Mahmiyat.ps website.

The purpose of displaying the photographs is to raise awareness in local communities, and to draw attention to the biodiversity that exists in their areas. The displays also help to encourage and promote ecotourism.

The photo displays contribute to documenting areas of biodiversity in Palestinian villages. The displays motive citizens to use their own cameras to capture the biodiversity they see. This adds to the protection of the landscape by creating more appreciation for the environment and natural beauty in these places.
