General Information
Green Prophet is a grassrooots media organization employing Jewish, Muslim and Christian writers who report from and on the environment in the Middle East, with a cultural perspective that differs from a western one. Our resources are limited - about $20,000 a year that comes through advertising. We've organized a cross-cultural exchange of bloggers in Jordan with Palestinian, Israeli and Jordanian activists, but the education of media and blogging is very limited in the Middle East:http://www.greenprophet.com/2009/12/15/14506/green-writers-jordan-uri/ We've also participated in a Middle East water security conference, with Prince Hassan of Jordan:http://www.greenprophet.com/2010/02/26/17919/water-security-prince-hassan/ We are partnered with a number of organizations including Kindle, and conferences such as the upcoming solar event in Cairo. Achim Steiner, the head of the UNEP reads our news source, according to a public testimony.
Mission and Objectives

Green Prophet is an environment news site reporting on the Middle East. Covering this very unique niche, we’ve been featured on the world’s most popular blogs and newspapers as a definitive source of green news for business experts, journalists and analysts following clean technology development, and social issues related to the environment, in the Middle East – North Africa region.
Rated as a Top 100 green blog in the world on Technorati, and endorsed by the United Nations Environment Programme, Green Prophet’s writers are seasoned journalists and consultants who cover stories in the area of clean technology, design, sustainable architecture, energy, fashion, culture and religion, as well as policy that impacts the Middle East region.
The site was founded by Karin Kloosterman, a long-time environment reporter and activist from Canada, now living in the Middle East. Through Green Prophet she is active on the ground in social change projects, and in researching reports that influence key policy makers.
As a leading information source and changemaker in the Middle East, Green Prophet is a regular media sponsor in major international clean technology conferences. We offer companies a premiere advertising platform for accessing new business channels in the B2B and B2C sphere. For advertising rates, sponsorship opportunities or to send us tips, please email us any time at contact@greenprophet.com.
