For students in the Shuafat refugee camp, like Laith, switching to Israeli schools means crossing the hulking barrier that separates their homes from the rest of Jerusalem every day.Some students aren’t even eligible to use the crossing, said Fahed Qatousa, the deputy principal of the UNRWA boys’ school in Shuafat. About 100 students in UNRWA schools in Shuafat have West Bank identifications, which will complicate their entry past the barrier, according to Qatousa.

“I will not in any way send Laith to a school where he has to go through a checkpoint or traffic,” Shweikeh said.In a statement to The Associated Press, the Israeli Ministry of Education said it was closing the schools because they were operating without a license. The agency promised “quality educational solutions, significantly higher in level than that provided in the institutions that were closed.” It said that it would “ensure the immediate and optimal integration of all students.”Qatousa fears the students will lose their chance to be educated.

“Israeli schools are overcrowded and cannot take a large number of students. This will lead to a high rate of not attending schools among our students. For girls, they will marry earlier. For boys, they will join the Israeli job market,” Qatousa said.Laith remembers the moment last month when the troops entered his school.

“The soldiers talked to the schoolteachers and told them that they were going to close the school,” Laith said. “I don’t want the school to close. I want to stay here and continue to complete my education.”

His teacher, Duaa Zourba, who has worked at the school for 21 years, said teachers were “psychologically hurt” by Israel’s order.The friendly engagement is just one tactic the women-led forest ranger group has been using to safeguard the forest their village relies on from deforestation and poaching. After years of patrols have accompanied a sharp decrease in deforestation, the rangers are now sharing their strategies with other women-led groups striving to protect their forests across Indonesia.

A vast tropical archipelago stretching across the equator, Indonesia is home to the world’s third-largest rainforest, with a variety of endangered wildlife and plants, including orangutans, elephants and giant forest flowers. Some live nowhere else.Since 1950, more than 285,715 square miles (740,000 square kilometers) of Indonesian rainforest — an area twice the size of Germany — have been logged, burned or degraded for development of palm oil, paper and rubber plantations, nickel mining and other commodities, according to Global Forest Watch.
