What is Hima ?
Hima means protected area in Arabic; it is a community based approach used for the conservation of sites, species, habitats, and people in order to achieve the sustainable use of natural resources. It originated from more than 1,500 years ago where it was spread along the Arab Peninsula as a “tribal” system of sustainable management of natural resources.
It was applied as a system for organizing, maintaining, regulating, and utilizing natural pasture and rangelands in a way fitting with ecosystems and local practices. Hima management and decisions are made by the local communities themselves.
HHI is reviving the Hima approach in collaboration with municipalities in order to promote the conservation of Important Bird Areas (IBAs) and conserve the sustainable use of natural resources.
ما هي الحمى؟
حمى تعني منطقة محمية باللغة العربية. إنه نهج مجتمعي يستخدم للحفاظ على المواقع والأنواع والموائل والأشخاص من أجل تحقيق الاستخدام المستدام للموارد الطبيعية. نشأت منذ أكثر من 1500 عام حيث انتشرت على طول شبه الجزيرة العربية كنظام “قبلي“ للإدارة المستدامة للموارد الطبيعية
وقد تم تطبيقه كنظام لتنظيم وصيانة واستخدام المراعي الطبيعية بطريقة تتلاءم مع النظم البيئية والممارسات المحلية. يتم اتخاذ إدارة وقرارات الحمى من قبل المجتمعات المحلية نفسها
تقوم HHI بإحياء نهج الحمى بالتعاون مع البلديات من أجل تعزيز الحفاظ على مناطق الطيور المهمة (IBA) والحفاظ على الاستخدام المستدام للموارد الطبيعية
