About The Habibat Project
The Habibat Project is a nonprofit media outlet reporting on stories that intersect individual, community, rural, and urban environmental actions and events. Our goal is to amplify efforts in environmental protection, restoration, and social capital development.
The Habibat Project is the publication of The Habibat Initiative for Sustainable Environment and Social Impact, a registered non-profit organization.
Our Ultimate Mission and Activities

We emphasize the urgent need not only to maintain but also to protect and understand the diverse relationships among the environment, farming systems, and social development. In doing so, we speak to researchers and environmentalists regularly and have reported on various related stories, some of which you can find below:
