Palestine Museum of Natural History Sustainability for huamns and nature

Using largely volunteer efforts and local donations, the Palestine Institute for Biodiversity and Sustainability (PIBS) and its offspring, the Palestine Museum of Natural History (PMNH) and ecological botanical gardens at Bethlehem University were started in 2014. PMNH opened to the public in 2017 and its cultural heritage exhibit (first of its kind in quality in our region) opened April 2019. Our vision is sustainable human and natural communities/ecosystems. Our mission focuses on work to research, education about, and conservation of our natural world, culture and heritage and use knowledge to promote responsible human interactions with our environment.
