Rana Hijawi has a passion for wildlife in Palestine. She is a biology graduate from Birzeit University. She started an Instagram page where she posts photos of birds in Palestine. Palestine is on the crossing of three continents and famous for its bird migration route.  About 500 million migrating birds fly over Palestine yearly. Despite its small size Palestine has very diverse landscapes. The coastal plain in the West, the mountain ridge in the center and the dessert and Jordan valley rift to the East. The diversity in ecosystems makes Palestine an interesting place for a large variety of flora and fauna.
