About Mahmiyat Palestine

Protecting Palestine's Natural Heritage

Our Mission

Mahmiyat Palestine seeks to protect Palestinian natural heritage through documenting biodiversity, promoting sustainable ecotourism, and connecting local communities with their surrounding nature. We believe that environmental protection begins with knowledge and awareness, which is why we work to provide a comprehensive digital platform gathering information about nature reserves, hiking trails, and wildlife in Palestine.

Through our partnerships with local and international institutions, we aim to transform nature reserves into sustainable tourism destinations that support the local economy while preserving the natural environment for future generations. We also work on empowering and training local guides to provide rich and environmentally responsible experiences for visitors.
