The Rape of Jordan's Forests

Photo of rural development in harmony with its surroundings - in this case Dibeen Forest - why upset the balance of natural growth ie the needs of the local inhabitants vs. corrupting influence of real estate developers with only one thing in mind - money.

Do the people who live around Dibeen Forest-Nature Reserve, actually need five star hotels and tourist resorts? And what of water?

When are we going to realise that trees matter as much as people in a land devoid of vegetation.

I mourn not just for the people but for the land ...
