In 2015 while I was on a sabbatical at Portland State University, I was called back to Israel to teach my course on the biodiversity of the Samar sand dune, which was under threat at the time. During that visit, I came up with an idea for how to save this unique land, and this idea later that year grew into an international organization, named This is My Earth (TiME) which uses crowdfunding to save our most precious lands with transparent, democratic and equal principles. We have already saved thousands of acres and developed a unique education program. My talk will describe the background and how TiME became an innovative way to steward biodiversity hotspots around the world."
