The National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) for Palestine must deal with the five main global threats: climate change, over-exploitation, habitat destruction, invasive species, and pollution, while enhancing the benefits to people from nature. In addition, we need to deal with a fifth threat to our environment: decades’ long Israeli occupation and colonization. More recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted issues of inequality and need to build reslient communities which adds to the urgency of this project. There have been positive developments, as articulated in the 6th National Report to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) of SP. It is believed possible to use the opportunity of building a Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan that contributes to making genuine and lasting transformations in the Palestinian society and its interaction with the environment. To identify and achieve sustainable human development targets that respect and protect the environment requires maximum participation and support from all sectors of the Palestinian society. This includes central government, local authorities, NGOs, CSOs, academia, religious organizations, media, and the general public. There is a pressing need over the next ten years for commitment across the world to identify and finance conservation initiatives that halt, mitigate and provide adaptations to climate change. This is particularly important for developing countries. By producing this document, Palestinians show they can be leaders in both conservation and achieving environmental justice.
