Jay will discuss how has Israel, a unique global biodiversity hotspot, transformed into a global environmental trailblazer, rewilding the country’s iconic lost wetlands against all odds. Learn how Israel’s magnificent natural environment is rebounding after war and wildfires, and   how Israeli nature – itself in need of healing – is actually helping a traumatized nation heal.

We will additionally discuss Israel’s critical position at the bottleneck of a vital bird migration fly route, threats to the still healthy coral reefs in the Gulf of Eilat, and look at the conservation strategies to protect the Red, Med, and Dead Seas.

You can attend this event in-person at the Nina Iser Jewish Cultural Center in Naples, Florida, or attend virtually on Zoom.
