Palestinian birdwatching project takes flight

Birdwatching hobby takes flight

When lockdown reached the West Bank

Mohammad Sheaibi isolated himself in the wild

using the extra time to pursue

his passion of wildlife photography

(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) WILDLIFE WATCHER MOHAMMAD SHEAIBI, SAYING:

"My journey in filming and documenting wildlife started in a surprising and unexpected way. I published photos of animals and birds on social media, on my Facebook page, and received a lot of attention from people. So, I figured out that our country needs such an initiative. Through this experience and the way people interacted with it, I was motivated to film and document more.”

Mohammed’s aim is to show the world

the West Bank’s natural beauty
