The Charter of Hima for Peace

The Hima for Peace Charter is a shared commitment to community-led conservation, sustainable development, climate resilience, and lasting peace across the Levant. It brings communities and organizations together to protect biodiversity, migratory birds, natural resources, and our shared cultural heritage. We invite all partners, environmental groups, and conservation organizations to endorse the Charter and join this growing regional movement. Add your organization’s name and help transform the Hima vision into collective action for nature, people, and peace.
