On June 9-12, 2017, APN was invited to Beirut to attend the Environmental Justice Strategic Conference held by the Environmental Justice Project (www.acknowlej.org) and the Asfari Institute for Civil Society and Citizenship at the American University in Beirut. The conference was attended by environmentalists, activists and academics from Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, Spain, South Africa, India, and the UK. The aim was to discuss both regional and global environmental struggles and share experiences in strategies for change. The trip also involved a visit to a couple of sites of environmental violations in Lebanon, including the Bisri Dam, which experts say will be extremely damaging to the natural environment, the surrounding agricultural land, and key archaeological sites. 

During the conference, APN presented the Million Tree Campaign, the Green Caravan, and its advocacy work as examples of civil society actively defying environmental injustice. Following the presentation, APN was asked to submit a document about the Million Tree Campaign to the Radical Ecological Democracy website, which celebrates alternatives to ecological unsustainability, poverty, food and water insecurity, and economic collapse.  

The EJ Project is working on a global electronic map (EJ Atlas) that highlights environmental violations and mechanisms of resistance against them. APN has submitted a case to the map documenting the environmental repercussions of the illegal uprooting of trees in Palestine, and how the Million Tree Campaign mobilises against them.
