Discover a New Side of Israel --

The Past, Present, and Future of Israeli Conservation
Wednesday, May 13, 7:00pm
In person and on Zoom


Join Jay Shofet, seasoned activist and member of the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel (SPNI), as he paints a vibrant picture of Israel as seasonal sanctuary for millions of birds, and explains how this migration fly route serves as a keystone for global environmental resilience. We will explore Israel's transformation from technological innovator to global environmental trailblazer, and explore the question of: How is a tiny global diversity hotspot rebounding after war and wildfires, and how can nature heal a traumatized nation? You'll learn about pioneering efforts to restore Israel's lost swamps, challenge myths about the century-long journey of Israeli tree-planting and how Israel is becoming a green beacon to the world.

Please contact the office before 5pm on the day of the event to get the passcode for this event.
