Fifteen experts from all over the world will meet their counterparts in Israel next week to discuss saving Israel's eagles. They will speak to members of nature preservation groups, academicians and decision makers, and suggest ways of preventing the great bird's extinction.
The conference is a special initiative of Porsim Kanaf ("Spreading Wings"), a program jointly operated by the Nature and Parks Authority, the Israeli Society for Preservation of Nature (ISPN) and the Electric Company. Experts will be flying in from Spain, France, Kenya, South Africa, Greece, Switzerland, Bulgaria and the United States.
Dan Alon, manager of the ISPN's bird watching center, said that "despite all of the resources invested in the matter, we are witnessing a serious decline in the situation of eagles in Israel. We hope that the experts' summit will help us think of creative, out-of-the-box solutions for saving our eagles."
