The Dead Sea (by: Ronit, Shahar and Yael)

# data[].attributes.body
Environmental activists around the world are concerned from so many issues such as global warming, extincted species, oceans and desserts, but here, in our tiny country we  have to take action and take care of our local unique nature treasures. So today, we want to tell you about the problem of one of those treasures - the dead sea's drying.

The Dead Sea is a salt lake between Israel and Jordan, considered the lowest place in the entire world. It is 306 meters deep, 50 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide at its widest point.  It is one of the world's first health resorts. The water contains 30 essential minerals, and the air has a high assemblage of oxygen, which helps to cure diseases such as asthma and arthritis.

Unfortunately, the water level is dropping about 1 meter and more every year.

Since the beginning of the measurements until 1997, The dead sea has lost almost 21 meters height, and about 400 skm from its area.

There are some reasons for it's drying up, but the main cause is that the factories around dry up the dead sea as a routine, in order to use it's resources.

What can we do to prevent irreparable damage or destruction and save the dead sea?

The most practical way is to stream new water to the dead sea. Although this process reduces the salinity of the water, it is better than losing the dead sea.

So to sum up, the dead sea is one of the wonders of the world, and have no substitute, and if it will be gone- we wouldn't have it's great profits, so together, we won't let the Dead Sea disappear. Let's save the dead sea!

The Banias Waterfalls-Yaara Buda & Shani Berkovitz 

# data[].attributes.body
The Banias waterfall is the most powerful waterfall in Israel and is among the most important sites in Israel. It flows with a noise from a height of 10 meters to a beautiful pool surrounded by plants. You can look at the waterfall from a wooden balcony built by the Nature and Parks Authority. The Nature and Parks Authority also built a 100-meter-long trail that helps walk by the water.

And all this is only a small part of what needs to be done to keep the waterfall:

First, every day tourists pollute the water, which causes the danger of the waterfall that grows day by day. People who come to enjoy and admire the beautiful scenery at the end are destroying it. Second, all kinds of invasive plants are growing in the area, that interfere with the water flow and people need to uproot them. The problem is that there are not enough people that do it. In addition, because of the high temperature in Israel, it is necessary to maintain a constant low temperature of the water by cooling the water every day. This requires a lot of volunteers and efforts.

The Israel Nature and Parks Authority has helped to preserve the waterfall, which is one of the largest tourist sites in Israel. But not only the Nature and Parks Authority should help but also you, because even such a large organization has limitations. There are no shortage of ways to help: from arriving as tourists and being careful not to dirty and contaminate the area, to volunteer in organizations or contribute to the preservation of the waterfall.

In conclusion, you have to work for this lovely waterfall if you want it not to be extinct. to volunteer at the Israel Nature and National Parks Protection Authority, to clean the place, donate money, raise money and do whatever you can. Anything small can help!

the global warming in Israel (Noam Kariv and Maya Eshel)

# data[].attributes.body
In the last 100 years the average temperature in earth is going up and up
The global warming might effect the surface of the sea,
and might increase the chances of hurricane , floods and more.

why it happens?

Most researchers believe that the main reason for climate change is the emission of gases from fuel combustion
But there are also scientists who think that warming is caused by natural activities that happen on Earth.

How global warming effects us?

If we do not do something against climate change it can cause to Damage to agriculture and forests - this can cause the forests not to withstand extreme weather.

What can we do to stop the global warming?

We can use less in air conditioners  or
save the tropic forests or a lot more things.

How does global warming affect Israel?

During the 21st century there are
Changes in climate around the world, especially in the Mediterranean Sea. These changes can lead to damage to natural systems. The Mediterranean basin is expected to have an average temperature rise of 1.5-2.2 degrees by the end of the 21st century compared to the end of the 20th century. In addition, the temperature is expected to rise in the summer.

to sum up the earth is getting hotter!!! and we need to do as much as possible to prevent it or we'll have nowhere to live.

Disposable dishes are tools that are used once for a specific purpose for which they are intended and after use are thrown away.

Disposable dishes are made of plastic, a substance that pollutes the land, the air and landscape. This material is eaten by the animals and causes them to be wounded and infected. In addition, the poisonous material in plastic sometimes enter our drinking, poisoning the land and causing health problems.

Items made of plastic are usually designed for short-term use, so they quickly find their way to the trash and accumulate more and more. Unfortunately, plastic takes centuries to fade, so plastic is probably one of the only souvenirs that will remain on Earth in thousands of years.

The forecasts for the future are not optimistic. According to a recent study published in 30 years, we will produce four times as much plastic as we do today. In addition, the study indicates that 90 percent of the garbage in the sea is plastic.

There are two main solutions to the problem of using disposable dishes:

The first solutions is the use of tools made from non-plastic material.

The second solutions is to recycle the use of the disposable dishes

These solutions can be done by any of us. This requires public awareness. However, this awareness is not high today, and as a result, most of the plastic tools eventually find their way into the garbage.

הישראלים אלופים בבית נקי , אבל לא מהססים להשאיר כלים חד פעמיים ופסולת בטבע, בפרט בחוף הים. שימו לב לשיא הישראלי המביך. הגיע הזמן לעבור לכלים רב פעמיים

הנה שיא שאין לנו מה להתגאות בו: ריכוז המיקרו פלסטיק בים הישראלי הוא פי 10 ממערב ים תיכון וגבוה מהממוצע העולמי.

מצד שני, זה לא מפתיע. כל מי שמטייל מעט בארץ, רואה את כמות הפסולת ואת הכלים החד-פעמיים שמעטרים, או ליתר דיוק - מכערים - את מסלולי הטיול בישראל, את חופיה ואת הים עצמו.

הפסולת הזאת לא רק הורסת את חוויית הביקור, אלא גם פוגעת אנושות בסביבה ובבעלי החיים. שקיות ניילון וחלקי פלסטיק צפים במים או מצטברים בקרקעית הים, ופוגעים ביצורים ימיים בצורות שונות, למשל על ידי היכרכות סביב סנפירים, כיסוי פיזי של בעלי חיים צמודי קרקעית, חנק או חסימות מעיים של בעלי חיים הטועים לחשוב שמדובר במזון.

במהלך הזמן הפלסטיק מתפרק במים לחלקיקים קטנטנים המכונים "מיקרו פלסטיק", ואלו חודרים לגופם של בעלי החיים ופוגעים בהם. כשבעלי החיים הקטנים נטרפים, אותם חלקיקים מועברים הלאה במעלה מארג המזון, וכאשר אנו ניזונים מדגה שניזונה בעצמה בחומרים אלו, גם בריאותנו עלולה להיפגע.

כאן בפואנטה פרסמתי לאחרונה מספר כתבות על המלחמה בפלסטיק במקומות שונים בעולם, בין היתר בכתבה על ה איסור על שימוש בקשיות פלסטיק חד פעמיות בניו יורק, ובכתבה על הודעת מקדונלדס כי תפסיק את השימוש בקשיות פלסטיק בבריטניה.

ישראל רחוקה מאוד ממה שקורה בעולם. צרפת הודיעה כבר ב-2016 כי החל משנת 2020 ייאסר שימוש בכלים-חד פעמיים מפלסטיק - כוסות פלסטיק, צלחות וסכו"ם. המבורג, העיר השנייה בגודלה בגרמניה, אסרה שימוש בקפסולות קפה ואריזות חד פעמיות בשנת 2016. המדינה ההודית מהרשטרה (המדינה השנייה המאוכלסת ביותר בהודו עם 114 מיליון תושבים) החליטה לאסור שימוש בכלי פלסטיק, סכו"ם חד פעמי, כוסות, כמו כן גם מיכלי פלסטיק ואריזות. שאר הודו צפויה לאכוף את האיסור על ידי 2022.

מהלכים מדהימים מתרחשים בכל מיני מקומות בעולם, ואילו בישראל אפילו חוק הפיקדון שמטרתו עידוד מיחזור של בקבוקי פלסטיק גדולים הוקפא על-ידי השר להגנת הסביבה זאב אלקין, וגם חוק השקיות לא יורחב במתכונתו הנוכחית אל חנויות נוספות.

הנתונים המדאיגים הם שמעל 8 מיליון טון של פסולת פלסטיק מושלכת אל הסביבה הימית מדי שנה (שווה ערך למשאית אשפה כל דקה). בשנת 2050 מי הים יהיו עשירים יותר בשאריות פלסטיק מאשר בדגים, ו-99% מהעופות הימיים יכילו פלסטיק בגופם.

עד 90% מהפסולת הימית בארץ - פלסטיק לא מתכלה

לפחות 60% מהפסולת בים ובחופים מקורה במקורות יבשתיים - ציבור לא אחראי המבלה בחופים ומשאיר אחריו לכלוך: בקבוקי שתייה, כלים חד פעמיים, קשיות שתייה, שקיות ניילון, בדלי סיגריות, שאריות מזון ועוד. פסולת נוספת מצטברת בחופים משפכי נחלים או מפלט ים, שכולל במקרים רבים פסולות שנשטפו מחופים אחרים ונסחפו בזרמי הים, לעתים למרחקים ארוכים.

כאמור, מדובר גם במפגע אסתטי ובריאותי, אבל מעבר לזה, הנפגעים הם בעלי החיים וגם בני האדם הניזונים בסופו של דבר מהדגה. שקיות ניילון וחלקי פלסטיק צפים במים או מצטברים בקרקעית הים, ופוגעים ביצורים ימיים שונים.

לכן, כל מהלך של גוף ממשלתי או מסחרי, וכל צמצום שלהשימוש בפלסטיק על-ידי בני האדם, גם אם הוא רק טיפה בים הפלסטיק שמסביב, עדיף על פני אדישות והמשך הזיהום.

למרבה הצער, הישראלים יודעים להקפיד על ניקיון הבית, אך רחוקים מאוד מלהקפיד להשאיר אחריהם סביבה נקייה. שליש מהפסולת בחופים הוא הכלים החד-פעמיים והאריזות שמושארות בחוף על ידי ציבור המתרחצים. על פי המחקרים בעולם ובישראל, חופי ישראל מובילים לרעה בכמות הפלסטיק גם בהשוואה לים תיכון, וגם לממוצע העולמי.

כעת גם אזרחי ישראל יזכו לקמפיין שאמור להעלות את המודעות לבעיית הפלסטיק, שנובעת, בין היתר, מהשימוש בכלים חד-פעמיים והשלכתם בטבע. המשרד להגנת הסביבה ועמותת אקואושן יוצאים בפעילות הסברה: "חד פעמי - לא בים שלי", שמטרתה לעודד את הציבור לעבור לשימוש בכלים רב-פעמיים בחופי הים. במסגרת קמפיין הקיץ ייערכו אירועים בערי החוף, ביקור על ספינת המחקר MedEx של אקואושן, ניקיון הים באמצעות צוללנים ומבצעי ניקוי חופים בשיתוף הציבור.

הקמפיין, שאותו מוביל גבי עמרני, הוא אמנם קמפיין הומוריסטי - אך מאחוריו מסתתר מסר רציני. בישראל השימוש בכלים חד-פעמיים נפוץ מאוד, בין היתר בשל שמירה על הלכות אוכל "בשרי" ו"חלבי", ובשל ריבוי האירועים שמתקיימים בפארקים ובטבע, כמו מסיבות יום הולדת, מסיבות סיום של בתי ספר וכו'.

במסגרת הפעילויות תתארח ספינת המחקר של עמותת אקואושן, MedEx, בערי החוף השונות, ותהיה פתוחה לסיורים קצרים. בחופים יעמדו דוכני הסברה עם מידע סביבתי כגון: החלופות האפשריות לכלים חד פעמיים לים, הבדל בין פלט ים טבעי למלאכותי, הסברים מהיכן מגיע החול הלבן, מידע על מבצעי ניקיון משותפים ורישום ליוזמת "אנשי הים התיכון", הפועלת להכרזה על שמורות טבע ימיות בים התיכון.

האירועים לקהל הרחב יתקיימו ברשויות הבאות: נתניה (26.7), חוף כרמל (3.8), אשקלון (30.8) ואירוע הסיום בעיר תל אביב ב- 22.9.

עוד הצצה למה שקורה בעולם. ישראל בפיגור

הנה כמה נתונים שמספק המשרד להגנת הסביבה:

בסיישל, בחודש יולי 2017 נכנס לתוקף איסור על יבוא, מכירה ושימוש מסחרי של שקיות ניילון, כוסות, צלחות וסכו"ם חד פעמי.

החל ב -1 ביוני 2018, העיר מליבו בקליפורניה, אסרה על שימוש, מכירה והפצה של קשי שתיה מפלסטיק, וסכו"ם חד פעמי בכל החנויות והמסעדות. מספר ערים נוספות בקליפורניה אסרו גם על שימוש בחד-פעמי מפלסטיק.

נכון ליום 22 באפריל 2018, העיר כרמל ליד הים דורשת כלי פלסטיק מתכלים או ניתנים למיחזור. ערי דיוויס ואלמדה דורשות מכל המסעדות לספק קשי שתיה רק על פי דרישה. באוקלנד, קליפורניה נאסר לספקי מזון להשתמש בקצף פוליסטירן.

בסיאטל, וושינגטון נאסר שימוש בקשי שתיה מפלסטיק, כלים ומערבבי קוקטיילים. פקודה לאסור את השימוש בקשי שתיה מפלסטיק בעיר פורט מאיירס, פלורידה הועברה ב 6 בנובמבר, 2017.

ערים רבות ומדינות נוספות, ואפילו האיחוד האירופי בכללותו שוקלים בימים אלו איסור על סכו"ם וקשי שתיה חד פעמיים מפלסטיק.

SAVE OUR FRESH AIR IN OUR LIFE!
(Save The Dor Coast)
By: Ayala Falave, Shaked Meiri, Noa Shapira, Agam Rotblat and Sapir Kaufman
Dor coast it coast that found on moshav Dor. He considered to one of the famous coast in Israel. On May, 2017 the battel of the gas rig started. The company put gas rig in the sea. This gas rig risk the area and the people that found there.
Why this is so dangerous?
There are lost of pollution that come with the gas rig and that make to air pollution and to the area make revolting and without desire to be there. The locals said that isnt there battle and it isnt only for there in favor of them its battle for all the people that love the sea. They said that they concerneded that the area will be pollution and in the end they will not breath. This isnt can be the way of our life!
With this problem estblished a few organization for example; "שומרי הבית".
They battle every day for prevention the building gas rig. Additional we surfing and we afrid that we will cant surf in the future.
Here a few facts about the gas rig that we need to know:
•The battle made for the gas air will move to far from the coast.
•The gas rig will emit a lot of pollution
•The chance that the gas air will give more than 10% he very low so this gas rig will not help very much and it isnt worth the resulting damage.
So what we can do to prevent this?
We need to raise awareness, do a demonstration like what we did in school, and hope that the world get that we need fresh air to live our life in safe!

The Dead Sea, the salty lake located at the lowest point on Earth, eight or nine times saltier than the oceans of the world is so dense and mineral rich that it doesn't even feel like normal water, more like olive oil mixed with sand.

The Dead Sea, one of the most popular tourist destinations, is best known for its special qualities. At a matter of fact, many people from all over the world to a vacation at the Dead Sea, passing their time between the Dead Sea Spa and visiting the unique hiking trails and attractions in the area.

The Dead Sea is going through rapid destruction. Most of the beaches are already closed for bathing, the water levels are continuing to fall,and entire areas are closed due to sinkholes. All these endanger the surrounding communities, the local infrastructure and the tourism.

WE HAVE TO FACE  THE TRUTH THE DEAD SEA IS DESAPIRING!

One of the causes is a negligent policy that solves one problem but creates another: closing the Degania Dam to save the Sea of Galilee,which stalled the flow of water to the Dead Sea. Today only a fraction of the water that used to flow in the past arrives at the Dead Sea.

In addition, drought is one of the most devastating consequences of Climate Change. It reduces the flow of new waters into the sea.

The Dead Sea is in bad shape but there is still a chance to change this! We have solutions – we demand that the local governments take responsibility and rehabilitate the natural resource of the region:

Invest resources in rehabilitation. ●

Reduce industrial use of the sea.  ●

●Renew a controlled flow of new waters into the sea.

To sum up, the Dead Sea is one of the most important and beautiful places in the world, and we have to take action before it will be too late.

NATURE BELONGS TO ALL OF US!!

Global warming is the result of artificial greenhouse gas emission.
Global warming is a long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system, an aspect of climate change shown by temperature measurements and by multiple effects of the warming.[2][3] The term commonly refers to the mainly human-caused observed warming since pre-industrial times and its projected continuation,[4] though there were also much earlier periods of global warming.[5] In the modern context the terms are commonly used interchangeably,[6] but global warming more specifically relates to worldwide surface temperature increases; while climate change is any regional or global statistically identifiable persistent change in the state of climate which lasts for decades or longer, including warming or cooling.[7][8] Many of the observed warming changes since the 1950s are unprecedented in the instrumental temperature record, and in historical and paleoclimate proxy records of climate change over thousands to millions of years.[2]

THE KINNERET By Noga Geller, Michal Perelroth and Noa Kuperman                                                                                                                                                                                    Over the past years, the Kinneret has been drying out. The Kinneret, otherwise known as the sea of Galilee is located in Northern Israel and is the largest fresh water lake in Israel. It is approximately 53 km (33 miles) in circumference, about 21 km (13 miles) long and 13 km (8.1 miles) wide. It’s main water source is the Jordon River which flows through it from North to South.                                          In the past, the Kinneret lake served as a major water source for Israel and today, only 2 percent of it’s water is pumped for use by Israel’s population. The Kinneret’s water height measurement is declining and is currently 210 meters below sea level.  This makes it the lowest freshwater lake on earth.  The closest cities surrounding the lake are Tiberias and Tel Katzir.                                          Israel is a place where there is hardly any rain. People consume a lot of water in their daily lives and the Kinneret is running low as a water source. Therefore, Israel needs to find solutions to provide more water for it’s population. One such solution is a major project that Israel began 5 years ago called “desalination”.  700 million cubic meters of drinking water have been produced through this purification process. Another solution is encouraging people to change their way of life in terms of how they use water. Israel began a major campaign to make people aware of the important cause of saving water. The campaign’s aim is to persuade people to take action and limit the length of showers and usage of water.                                                     As we enter winter this year, we can only hope that Israel will have a steady rainfall that will fill the Kinneret and replenish Israel’s largest water reservoir and replenish Israel’s natural water supply.

The Mediterranean Sea is a sea connected to the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by the Mediterranean Basin and almost completely enclosed by land: on the north by Southern Europe and Anatolia, on the south by North Africa and on the east by the Levant. Although the sea is sometimes considered a part of the Atlantic Ocean, it is usually identified as a separate body of water. It covers an approximate area of 2.5 million km2, but its connection to the Atlantic is only 14 km wide.

Pollution in this region has been extremely high in recent years. The United Nations Environment Programme has estimated that 650,000,000 tone of sewage, 129,000 tons of mineral oil, 60,000 tons of mercury, 3,800 tons of lead and 36,000 tons of phosphates are dumped into the Mediterranean each year. The Barcelona Convention aims to reduce pollution in the Mediterranean Sea and protect and improve the marine environment in the area, thereby contributing to its sustainable development. Many marine species have been almost wiped out because of the sea's pollution. One of them is the Mediterranean monk seal which is considered to be among the world's most endangered marine mammals

The Mediterranean is also plagued by marine debris. A 1994 study of the seabed using trawl nets around the coasts of Spain, France and Italy reported a particularly high mean concentration of debris; an average of 1,935 items per km2. Plastic debris accounted for 76%, of which 94% was plastic bags                                                                                            Countries located on the shores of the Mediterranean France Spain Italy Malta Monaco Montenegro Croatia Bosnia and Herzegovina Slovenia AB.

The average depth of approximately is 1500 meters below sea level.

The Pollution in Haifa Bay(Moriya Fridman, Avigail Cohen and Inbal Layosh)

# data[].attributes.body
dHaifa Bay is the one of the largest bay on the Mediterranean coast in Israel. It is 12 kilometers long and it is located on the northern coastal plain of Israel. The Haifa Bay area is home to the industrial zone of Haifa and its vicinities. Because the industrial plants in this area produce chemicals that hurting the local residents, Haifa Bay has long been considered the most polluted area in Israel.

The results of this pollution are rates of hospitalization, sickness and mortality at levels higher than those of the national average in diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, stroke and cancer. Haifa and its vicinities have a morbidity rate percent higher than the national average of cancer. Other results are respiratory diseases such as asthma, which is more common among children in Haifa Bay than in the rest of the country.

What can be done to reduce pollution from factories is to remove the risk factors from populated areas. One of the plans in advanced planning is the removal of a 12,000-ton ammonium storage tank from the Haifa Bay and the establishment of an ammonia production plant in southern Israel. The goal is to reduce the risks to the population from hazardous events.

We hope that the hazardous pollution will be taking care of by the right people in the next years and we want to raise our children in a cleaner environment.

The Carmel: (Hedyah Lebovitz, Gal Ziv, Lia Matales, Nehora Drummer)

# data[].attributes.body
Carmel was always considered a place of beauty. The whole area is green, the views are lovely and the animals are wonderful.

Many people travel in the Carmel, mainly on vacations and holidays. Carmel is an important tourist attraction in the country.

The Carmel is located in the north of Israel.

All those make the Carmel a special place.

The Carmel has trees with mild ignition properties, Causing many fires over the years.

The largest fire in the history of the State of Israel took place in the Carmel on 2-6.12.2010.

As a result of the fire, 44 people killed , 17,000 people were evacuated from their homes, huge areas were destroyed (25,000 dunams), and about 5 million trees Burned . close to 20 countries from all over the world helped Israel fight the fire.

Immediately after the fire many authorities and organizations began to rehabilitate the Carmel, for example: In the first days after the fire, the animals were returned to Carmel. In 2017 the rehabilitate was completed.

The country still trying to improve Carmel and bring it back to what it used to be and raise awareness of what happened in the Carmel.

To sum up we think that people should be more careful about the Carmel so it return to be what it was.

Go and plant for a better future for Carmel!

The yarkon river ia a river in central Israel-Tel aviv. The Yarkon river has a history of 2000 years. The river is also called the Joshua Gardens. A few years ago,thousands of fish died in the river,because people polluted the river. Some people saw it and said that there was a bad smell. The river became infected because people threw food into the river.

How can we preserve the river?

*we need to save the river-if we go to trips,so we throw the food to the garbage.

*Adopt a river-if we have a river near our house,we can “adopt” it with our class or with the school.

*Advertise in the newspaper.

*To make a river tour and explain about it.

To sum up, the Yarkon is important and if we save it,it will be good and beautiful.

The pollution in the Yarkon River started at the end of the 1950s when the cities around it started to grow, and they threw sewage and garbage into the river.  To make things even worse,  at the end of the 1950s the source water that had been going to the Yarkon started to be used for agriculture and drinking water, which left much less water for the river.   Since then, the amount of water reaching the river has declined every year, which made it impossible to keep the river free of pollution.

In the 1960s and 1970s people became worried about the condition of the river and began to find ways to clean up the river.   The Israel Water Authority created plans to clean up the river and today things continue to improve.   The Mekorot Water Company is building water purification plants which will allow the water to be used for agricultural irrigation in the Ramat Hasharon area and even to water the grass in the Ganei Yehoshua park.

what's the problem?

The Dead Sea is going through rapid destruction, most of the beaches are already closed for bathing, the water levels are continuing to fall, entire areas are closed due to sinkholes. All these endanger the surrounding communities, the local infrastructure and the tourism.

what's The Causes:
Negligent policy that solves one problem but creates another: closing the Degania Dam to save the Sea of Galilee stalled the flow of water to the Dead Sea. Today only a fraction of the water that used to flow in the past arrives at the Dead Sea
The mining process of drying the water for salt is drying out the northern lake, exposing the area to flooding and the hotels to collapse.
Drought is one of the most devastating consequences of Climate Change. It reduces the flow of new waters into the sea.

The solution:

The Dead Sea is in bad shape but there is still a chance to change this! We have solutions – we demand that the local governments take responsibility and rehabilitate the natural resource of the region:
Invest resources in rehabilitation.
Reduce industrial use of the sea.
Renew a controlled flow of new waters into the sea

The residents of Gaza are flying kites with flammable materials towards the city's and the fields in the south and by that they are making terrible fires that are destroying the south.

The black south started because a group from the army went into Gaza in order to get intelligence information they were caught and one solider got killed.

We were using Ynet on our article and we think that it's a great site because the site let people that aren't in the war often black south are to feel identification about the situation, it also gives the black south people the feeling that all of the people from Israel are with them and they are supporting them.

The conclusion of what happening is that the residents of Gaza are flying kites and the situation is very gentle it’s changing all the time it’s extremely dangerous and we all very concerned as a matter of fact the teenagers organized a day that everyone would come to school with black shirts because it’s very important to us that the south will be preserved. The army is on high alert and they attacked on Sunday at least four huliot launchers of kites.

We hope you enjoyed our article thank you very much!!!

Unfortunately, in our world, things are becoming extinct for a number of reasons: First, we pollute the environment, we do not recycle and we do not keep the Earth. Second we need to raise awareness about preserving the world.

The Belize Barrier Reef is a series of coral reefs straddling the coast of Belize, roughly 300 meters offshore in the north and 40 kilometers in the south within the country limits.

The Belize Barrier Reef System, which is continuous from Cancún on the north-eastern tip of the Yucatán Peninsula through the Riviera Maya and up to Honduras, making it the second largest coral reef system in the world after the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

The Life In The Reef:

The Belize Barrier Reef is home to a large diversity of plants and animals :

*70 hard coral species

*36 soft coral species

*500 species of fish

hundreds of invertebrate species

With 90% of the reef still needing to be researched, it is estimated that only 10% of all species have been discovered.

Why is The Belize Barrier Reef extinct?

the reef remains under threat from oceanic pollutionas well as uncontrolled tourism, shipping, and fishing. Other threats include hurricanes, along with global warming and the resulting increase in ocean temperatures, which causes coral bleaching. It is claimed by scientists that over 40% of Belize's coral reef has been damaged since 1998.

To Sum up:

in order to save the Belize Barrier Reef we should stop polluting our environment,and to be more aware of the current situation .

Save the sea turtles 🐢

The greatest enemy of sea turtles today is humans. Most of the attacks on sea turtles in Israel occur unintentionally. The sea turtles were hunted in the past, and in the 1930s, during the British Mandate in Palestine, about 2,000 turtles were hunted every year in the coastal strip of the country. The sea turtles are mistakenly caught in fishing nets and hooks, getting tangled up and eating garbage in the sea and at the beach. They are hit by high speed boats such as motorboats and jet skis, and suffer from severe damage to their dumping sites.

The dumping sites are sandy beaches with easy access from the sea, along the entire coastline of Israel. The construction of marinas and breakwaters along the coast harms the flow of sand dunes to the north, resulting in an imbalance in sand dispersal of the beaches and the coastal strip is shrinking in areas where landings are laid. Many beaches are disturbed during the dumping season (by parties, unregulated overnight stays on beaches, lights and bonfires, lights coming from roads close to the sea, restaurants and even bonfires on the beach confuse newly hatched turtles and seek the light from the waves to find their way to the sea. On the beaches may damage the turtles and their nests and also create plumes in the sand where the young turtles fall and can not get out of them, intensive construction and accelerated development of the beaches caused severe damage to the dumping beaches.
Conservation efforts of sea turtles in Israel
The Nature and Parks Authority is the governmental body responsible for the preservation of nature in Israel, and as such is obligated to protect sea turtles. For this purpose, the Nature and Parks Authority established a national center for the rescue of sea turtles in 1999, where injured and damaged sea turtles are brought for treatment and rehabilitation, and the aim is to return them back to the sea. The declaration of beaches as nature reserves and national parks enables the protection of the coast over time from coastal construction, beach lodging during the laying season, etc. The Sea Turtle Rescue Center also has a breeding nucleus for the green turtle that is in serious danger of extinction in the Mediterranean Sea.

The Whale Haunting in Peru Island- Merav Kreindler, Rotem Hirshfeld, Hadar Finkelstein and Tamar Shorer 

# data[].attributes.body
Every year the locals in Peru haunt between 750-950 whales in the area. This past month were held two haunting occasions with the support of CEO's of important whale's oil companies.
The islands are in the possession of Denmark, and although the whale haunting is forbidden by the law in Denmark, the law allows whale haunting for eating purposes.
The local people estimate that there are 8000 long finned pilot whales staying in this area today. The fishermen are looking for the whales for weeks but they are having problems finding them.
When the fishing boats find big schools of whales they lead them to the shore where the locals wait with sharp objects. Sometimes the fishermen are not able to drag the whales to the shore and brutally kill them in the water, an action that is not allowed by the law.
A lot of time the whales are being slaughtered by little kids whose watching and joining the deeds. The sea becomes red from all the blood. It is a terrible sight that has to be stopped.

The president of the organization that fights against the killing says that only with struggle in the field they could stop the old haunting whales tradition.
The organization don't know how long they will stay in the Peru Islands area, but they will do what they can to distance the schools of whales from the fishermen with a special under water acoustic equipment that will be installed soon. They claim that the police raided on the organization boat and since then they can't approach to the island.
We found the site important because animal abuse is a horrible thing and we support the fight against the murder and we need to raise awareness about the whale killing.
To sum up, the whales are very important and we need to save them.

The Deforestation of The Amazon Rainforest

We would like to describe a very serious environmental problem: Deforestation.

Deforestation refers to the cutting, clearing, and removal of rainforests.

The Amazon rainforest covers most of the Amazon basin of South America. This place is over 7,000,000 square kilometers and includes countries as: Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.

Most of the rainforests are in Brazil. The Amazon represents over half of the planet's remaining rainforests, with about 390 billion trees.

In the last several decades there is a phenomenon of deforestation of the Amazon rainforests because people need more and more places to live and trees to build houses.

Unfortunately, deforestation is a very serious environmental problem that endangers people all over the world.

First of all, deforestation endangers the different species of plants and animals that live in the forest. Millions of animals and plants will disappear because of the cutting of the trees.

Secondly, over a quarter of the medicines we are using today origin in the plants that grow in the Amazon. As a result of the deforestation, it would be impossible to extract the medicine from the extinct plants. Without this vital medicine, a lot of diseases could not be cured anymore, as medicine against malaria and HIV for example, and a lot of sick people will die.

In addition, most of our foods come out of the Amazon, such as: bananas, pineapples, nuts, coffee beans and many more. If deforestation continues,then we could be in a danger of cutting off a significant percentage of our food supply.

Finally, deforestation influences the amount of oxygen on Earth and endangers all the living species in the world including people.

To sum up, it is very important to save the rainforest because it has a huge impact on local economies and on the whole world.

The Belize Barrier Reef

You must have heard of the second biggest Coral reef in the world-the Belize Barrier Reef.
But did you know that it is a threatened place? The turquoise blue water of this reef is home to some thousand species of fish including some of the most amazing in the world.
As a matter of fact only 10% of the reef has been researched, which means 90% of the reef hasn't been discovered yet. It covers an area of 250 km and is a spectacle to watch.
Despite the efforts to save the reef, it is still in danger of existence, mostly because of the destructive pollution and global warming.
The reef is vital to the fishing industry in Belize as well as it is to the whole world. And it also attracts a half of the tourist in Belize.
So what can we do to save it?
For starters we need to raise the awareness of the Belize Barrier Reef’s extinction by protesting or by posting advertisements on social media or even by raising money and sending it to organizations which support the Belize Barrier Reef.
To sum up we must do everything in our power to make sure the Belize Barrier Reef is here to stay!!!

the volcanic islands of the Galápagos are located 600 miles west of continental Ecuador. They are famous for a wealth of unique plants and animals found nowhere else in the world. The Galápagos Islands were the source of Darwin’s theory of evolution and remain a priceless living laboratory for scientists today.
One of the species that's only found in the Galápagos Islands is the marine iguana. It has the ability, unique among modern lizards, to search for food in the sea, making it a marine reptile. The marine iguana is currently considered vulnerable by the IUCN.

Unfortunately, illegal fishing, non-native species and the demands of more than 160,000 tourists each year threaten this irreplaceable ecosystem and the people who depend on it for their food and livelihood.
Furthermore, increased generation of waste creates pollution that threatens the Galápagos. An unknown number of animals are killed every year when they become entangled in pieces of string or plastic bags, or consume floating trash.

In conclusion, the Galápagos are an extraordinary, invaluable and due to our actions- dying ecosystem. It's our responsibility to stop illegal fishing, reduce pollution and ensure that the tourism in the Galápagos isn't harmful, or we'll lose one of the most beautiful places on Earth, forever.

The North Pole (Noa Grohar & Maayan Parsa)

# data[].attributes.body
The geographical area of the North Pole is called the Arctic. We all need to take action to prevent oil drilling at the North Pole. The producers of dirty energy, which caused the North Pole to melt in the first place, now want to gain from the ice disappearance. They want to open a new oil front to realize a potential of 90 billion barrels. For them, this is a huge fortune, but in the world, the oil produced there will suffice for only three years. Coping with oil leaks in frozen water is almost impossible, and unavoidable errors will completely undermine the fragile polar environment. To drill the North Pole, oil companies will have to drag glaciers to clear the way to drilling rigs and use huge water pipes with hot water to melt floating ice.

The Arctic, according to experts, is expected to become completely ice-free during the summer season by 2030 -according to its current melting rate and the temperatures measured in recent years.

The ice-free pole in the summer has serious consequences, less ice means less energy being returned from the huge white surfaces and therefore the global warming of the earth.

How can we save the North Pole?

You can sign The Greenpeace organization petition to save the North Pole, to show that our shared vision of a green and healthy Earth, a land of peace, depends on the protection of all of us on the North Pole. You can also join a demonstration against the companies or countries that support the oil drilling. Those are only a few examples for what we can do to save the North Pole. There are a lot of ways to save the North Pole. Together, we have stronger power than any army of a state and any corporate budget. Our shared concern for our Earth rise above all the boundaries that separate us and turns us into the strongest force that exists today. so if we all unite we can save the North Pole.

The Jordan River is the longest river in the Land of Israel. The Jordan River flowing from the Hermon to the Dead Sea, which is the lowest place in the world. The length of the Jordan River is about 217 kilometers.

The main sources of the waters of the Jordan are the rains and the snow that descend on the Hermon.
the four sources of the Jordan:

Hermon river (Banias)

· Dan River

· Snir river

· Ayun river

why is the Jordan river important?

The Jordan River is an important site for a few reasons.

Firstly, the Jordan River is an enjoyable site which you can come and enjoy its beautiful view and swim in its' water. Moreover, you can kayak on the river.

In conclusion, the Jordan River is a beautiful attraction that could disappear if we don't try to save it.

what happened to the Jordan river?

In the past, the Jordan River was a large and beautiful river. But the Jordan River over the years has became polluted and water quality was very poor. In 2010, the plan to rehabilitate the river began, and later on (partially) succeeded in cleaning the river.

But in August 2018 it was forbidden to enter a number of streams in the Golan Heights, including the Jordan River, due to the presence of pollution in their water, which causes the eruption of the Leptospirosis. (עכברת)

 The Samar Sand Ddunes Are Disappearing (Avishag Gabby and Tal Cohen)

# data[].attributes.body
Our beautiful dunes located about 50 kilometers north from Eilat, and one of them called “Samar sand dunes”.

Samar Sands Dunes are low hills of golden sand, just like in most of the deserts. In 1994 the Samar Sands have covered 7 square kilometers. But after agricultural development decided to reduce most of the sands, it now covers only 2.3 square kilometers.

The Samar Sands is the last dunes that left in the Arava area. Many contractors and companies are mining these dunes for cement to build houses.

This act causes industrial pollution because of all the devices they used for manning the Samar dunes.

These dunes are important for the agriculturists because of the soft sand a lot of agriculturists are making their live from it.

So, what do people do to prevent them from extinct and try to change this situation?

A lot of people from Samar kibbutz are protesting and trying to avoid the contractors to keep doing their actions.

Some agriculturists are trying to offer some solutions. For example, persuade the companies to use other ways to make cement, like mining rocks in Timnaa or using other places like Rotem plain.

Some people even do a lot of information conferences to enrich other people’s knowledge about the Samar dunes and why it is important to preserve it.
