Palestinian Society for the Protection of Environment and Nature
PSPEN was established in 1996 as an independent, non-profit, non- governmental environmental organization. The society is registered with the Ministry of Interior of the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah. PSPEN was created by a group of environmental specialists dedicated to developing human resources for the protection and the preservation of the nature and environment in Palestine. Over the years, the organization has expanded its activities and has conducted a number of projects. These include:
Establishment of environmental clubs and groups. The clubs aim at protecting the environment and nature. PSPEN has established a group called "The Youth of Nature". The group includes 35 volunteers from Nablus, Tulkarem, and Jenin areas.
Holding an environmental workshop in cooperation with the SPNI. The workshop gathered together a number of businesspeople and involved a course on ISO1400.
Creating guides (Al-Zanbaqa magazine) on different issues that are related to nature, such as the importance of nature, how to deal with it, and how to protect it. The project has been conducted in cooperation with PIES.
Documenting environmental problems that result from pollution from Israeli industries which are located on the border, and which are neither under Israeli or Palestinian jurisdiction.
Reclamation of 400 dunum near Nablus. PSPN started working on this land, motivated by the idea of building a national park. Later, they decided to create a natural reserve for the protection of nature. 10,000 trees were planted there. Native plants, which are threatened with extinction, have been grown in that area. The reserve will also contain distinct Palestinian animals and birds. The reserve is meant to serve as a center for strengthening environmental education and nature conservation concepts and for representing the ecosystem of Palestine.
Regarding networking - the organization has started making contacts with some Palestinian, Jordanian, Egyptian and Israeli organizations. PSPEN had been cooperating with Artas Charitable Association. PSPEN had contacts with the Jordanian Royal Society for the Protection of Nature and visited the Dana Reserve in Jordan. In addition, PSPEN had begun making contacts with some of the environmental organizations in Egypt.
