Juthour - Comprehensive Summary Report

Vision

Primary Vision

Juthour is the first project of its kind in the region: a long‑term legacy grounded in love for land and future generations. It exists to protect Palestinian ancestral land and to regenerate a degraded mountain into a living tree museum (arboretum) and an ecological education centre.

The long‑term vision is to secure the mountain as a nature preserve for 100–200 years, protecting trees, wildlife, migrating birds, and native flora, while providing sustainable revenue to support its mission through its custodians and governance. Land and resources are never treated as assets for extraction or speculation, but as a trust to be carried forward.
