  • Friends of the Earth Middle East
    Friends of the Earth Middle East How Past Trans-boundary Security Arrangements Can Change the Future of Peace Parks in the Tri-partite Region Friends of the Earth Middle East (FoEME) is one of many local environmental organizations who have made it their mission to address environmental issues and accelerate sustainable economic development surrounding the Jordan River using a unique precedent; trans-boundary areas, or as they are more aptly coined ‘peace parks’. Trans-boundary Peace Parks aspire to cultivate cooperation and peace between countries and to conserve ecosystems which do not recognize national borders. These areas will not only benefit from eco-tourism and economic development, but will also show the international community that peace in the Middle East is achievable, albeit one hectare at a time. Proposals have been/will be made to representatives of both the Jordanian and Israeli governments to consider turning the area near Naharayim / Gesher / Bakoora (Jordan) into a peace park. In order to gain a better understanding of the peace parks proposal, it is helpful to look to precedents on the Israel-Jordan border that have set the tone for joint- cooperation, economic development and environmental sustainability. The following illustrates a sample of regional agreements that vary in nature (industrial, environmental, educational, religious), but whose scope is universal; international collaboration with an environmentally-centered vision for the future. Interviews with Ministry of Foreign Affairs staff found that the Israeli government supports any and all civilian cooperative activities with Jordan. This is good news for FoEME, as well as for Israelis and Jordanians who have called upon their respective governments for some time to rehabilitate the Jordan River Valley.
