The Palestine Institute for Biodiversity and Sustainability (PIBS) and the Palestine Museum of Natural History (PMNH) were established April 19, 2014 to research, educate, and conserve Palestine’s natural world, culture, and heritage.
PIBS was founded by Prof. Mazin Qumsiyeh and Jessie Chang Qumsiyeh with the support of Bethlehem University. The PMNH was later opened in 2017, the Ethnography Exhibit in 2019, and the Biodiversity Center in 2021.
PIBS/PMNH relies on volunteers. Learn More . . .
