Botanical Poetry as a Means of Promoting Humankind's Well-being and Revaluing a Desert Ecosystem

ABSTRACT

This paper features an overview of my research project, as well as some of the poems from my work-in-progress, The Desert's Botanical Bounty: Poems from the Heart of the Arabian Desert, a collection of poetry promoting a greater appreciation of and commitment to protecting not only the unique environment of the Arabian Peninsula, but other equally endangered ecosystems around the world. My goal is to emphasize that when we abuse the land, we contribute to an increase in poverty and a deterioration of health of our fellow human beings.
