Restoring Ecology in the Eastern Mediterranean: Thursday Webinar with Thomas Pearson
Published: Mon, 04/03/17
Hey there ,
Greetings from Saudi Arabia.
This week's webinar promises to be very unique, as we have Thomas Fernley-Pearson coming on. If you've heard of him, you know what a treat we're in for, and if you haven't, you're about to. I've been trying to track him down for a couple years, and happened upon him by very good luck.
Thomas got his start as an ecologist and farmer in Ecuador in 2000 and is currently a design and ecology consultant with Medicins Sans Frontieres. He also works with a variety of NGOs in the Middle East, and is one of the founders of Bustaan Qaraaqa, a permaculture farm in Palestine.
Thomas has spent a lot of time donating his skills to folks in very challenging situations--including displaced herders and tribesman, as well as folks in refugee camps and city slums in Brazil,
Colombia, and the Levant.
Come this Thursday at 11:30 PST (9:30 PM in Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Palestine, & Saudi Arabia) to hear Thomas speak about Ecosystem Regeneration in the Eastern Mediterranean, in the context of Herders and Farmers who face war, obstruction, occupation, and displacement.
