On June 2014, the agricultural terraces of the Palestinian village Battir were recognized by the UNESCO organization as a World Heritage Site. The farmers in the village irrigate their lands with spring water via an ancient channel system, stemming from a tunnel, which was carved into the mountain in the early days of the Roman Empire. The struggle to protect the terraces from the state, which plans to continue building the separation barrier in this place, led to a rare cooperation between Palestinians, settlers, and green organizations, who wish to preserve the unique cultural and historical landscape.
