Nature Reserves

Within its relatively small area, Israel comprises an astonishing variety of scenery and climes, harboring over 2,500 different species of plants, 350 varieties of birds and 70 types of mammals. In order to preserve these extraordinary natural resources, the State of Israel has designated over 200 sites as nature reserves. In over 20 years of extensive activity, the Israel Nature Reserves Authority has many achievements to its credit. Not the least is the preservation of the ibex and gazelle, species which, not too long ago, were on the brink of extinction. They are to be seen in growing numbers in the hilly area of the country. The Authority has reintroduced biblical animals, such as the fallow deer, the addax, the oryx and the onager. Israel may soon be the only place in the world where the last three can be found. Wild irises, cyclamens and narcissi, which had become a rare sight, once again cover the fields.
