Nature reserves in Israel are suffering from lack of financial and other forms of support. Coupled with destructive activities such as military training, mining and unsustainable modes of tourism, this causes many reserves’ ecosystems to degrade. Precious habitats and species are lost. As the natural resources lose their value and attractiveness, the human communities living close to the reserves suffer from unemployment, low income, economic instability and even cultural distress. Makhtesh1 Ramon nature reserve, located in the Negev desert in southern Israel, is currently deteriorating mainly due to unsustainable modes of tourism. Meanwhile, the town of Mitspe Ramon, located on the edge of the northern rim of Makhtesh Ramon, is suffering from economic and cultural problems.
