The world’s first Islamic conservation guide has been launched by IFEES and the Directorate of Fisheries in Zanzibar. The pioneering instruction manual, written and publised by IFEES, uses lessons from the Qur’an to show how vital fishing resources can be protected
Introducing:
Islamic Foundation for Ecological and Environmental Sciences
Our home planet Earth is undergoing rapid and sustained destruction of its eco-systems. This is giving rise to unacceptable levels of pollution, increasing damage to human habitations and ultimately threatening world-wide population disruption. Muslims comprise at least one fifth of the human community and they can contribute much to the thinking that is vital to re-evaluate the future direction of the human community and save its home for itself and other life forms.
From tentative beginnings in the mid 1980’s IFEES has established itself as perhaps the only internationally recognized body articulating the Islamic position on these matters and at the same time attempting to give practical manifestation to this. This web site may be seen as evidence of its purpose and intentions.
IFEES is a multi-dimensional organization and its objectives include
- Research and the dissemination of information
- Producing teaching materials, books and journals
- Training on practical and theoretical subjects
- The setting up of an experimental centre focusing on land use and organic farming and also the development of alternative technology
IFEES networks world-wide with NGOs, international organizations, academic bodies and grass roots organizations and invites collaboration from organizations and individuals from all persuasions who are also dedicated to the maintenance of the Earth as a healthy habitat for future generations of humankind as well as other living beings.
