Munqeth Mehyar

The organization has offices in Amman, Bethlehem and Tel Aviv, employs over 40 paid staff and actively involves hundreds of volunteers.

As Jordanian Director, Mehyar leads EcoPeace activities concerning the Jordan River, the Dead Sea and the Good Water Neighbors Project.

Mehyar has organized dozens of regional conferences, workshops and study tours, supervised regional research on shared ecosystems, co-authored reports and policy papers and speaks regularly on water, peace and security issues, with the main emphasis directed towards the end of Israeli occupation and the creation of an independent "Palestinian State" with East Jerusalem as its capital.

EcoPeace Middle East's three co-directors—Munqeth Mehyar (Jordan), Gidon Bromberg (Israel) and Nader Al-Khateeb (Palestine) -- were honored by TIME Magazine as Environmental Heroes of 2008[1] and the organization was granted the prestigious Skoll Award in 2009,[2] Alexander Aristotel Onassis prize for the protection of the environment (Hamburg, 17 November 2010) and Anna Lindh Foundation award 2011.
