Towards the Sustainability of the National Flower of Palestine Through an In Situ Scientific Garden

Conduct a study to assess the current status and distribution of the national flower of Palestine (Iris haynei) in the Faqua’a area and surrounding mountains, and implement in-situ conservation actions for this threatened and endemic Iris. Increase knowledge and skills of the stakeholders to support plant conservation planning, and promote the emergence of a new generation of young professionals in plant conservation. Support innovative measures to conserve important plant communities though collaboration with local communities.
