Ishtirak has been instrumental in founding the Socotra Archipelago Seed Bank Project in Yemen.
Given the rapidly-changing environmental circumstances on this remote island off the Southern Arabian coast, urgent efforts must be made both to protect and catalogue endemic plant species.
A plant nursery near Suq, Socotra, is the current project focus; the project model is 'Native Here' nursery, located in Berkeley, California, which works to preserve the native plant species of the area through weekly seed collection, plant propagation, plant sales and education programs.
