Devorah Brous The political and the environmental are inextricably linked; the policies here are created within the context of an ongoing war between the Jews and the Arabs over land and resources. [We aim] to address the discriminatory allocation of resources among Israel's citizens.
Devorah Brous is the founder and served as the Executive Director of BUSTAN for 9 years. BUSTAN is an environmental justice organization working primarily in Israel's Negev region with Jewish and Bedouin communities. BUSTAN promotes fair allocation of clean natural resources and community self-reliance. The word "bustan" [fruit orchard in Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian] reflects traditional and diverse indigenous planting patterns of the region. BUSTAN plants and builds with low cost, sustainable technologies and advocates sustainable development that serves both Jewish and Arab populations.
