The Arab Group for the Protection of Nature, with the help of the Bethlehem Farmers’ Union, was able to fully remediate and replant farmer Ibrahim Brigheit’s 8 dunam  piece of  land, which extends along the municipality’s borders.

His land lies on the main road of Hebron-Jerusalem adjacent to the Afrat settlement and neighboring the settlement complex of Ghosh and Atsyon. Ibrahim’s land has deep significance, not only because of its geographic surroundings, but because it was stolen illegally by an Israeli company and was returned 11 years later after an endless court battle. Ibrahim, with his remarkable defiance and patience, has become a beacon of hope and optimism for the Palestinian people.
