What’s happening
Amidst the challenging times in Northern Israel, the Agamon Wildlife Rehabilitation Center (AWRC) in Hula Valley stands as a beacon of compassion and resilience. This vital center, in cooperation with Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF), has been working tirelessly to rehabilitate injured wildlife affected by recent conflicts, particularly in the Galilee region.
Why it matters
The AWRC plays a critical role in preserving Israel’s rich biodiversity by rescuing and rehabilitating animals with severe injuries, many suffering due to the harsh impact of war in the region. With over 1,000 animals from 130 species cared for since the center’s inception, the facility is crucial for returning these creatures to their natural habitats, thus maintaining ecological balance and serving as an example of Israel’s commitment to environmentalism.
The big picture
Established alongside Tel Hai College, the AWRC stands at the forefront of wildlife conservation in Israel. The center epitomizes the enduring spirit of protection and healing, dedicated to safeguarding and nurturing regional habitats. This important work underscores Israel’s engagement with global ecological issues while directly enriching the natural landscape of Northern Israel.
Looking ahead
As the journey of recovery continues, the center remains dedicated to feeding and mending the wounds of creatures under its careful watch. In testimonies of successful recoveries and releases, there lies hope for more victories for wildlife and symbolic of the regeneration possible through steadfast care and attention.
