This summer in the Upper Galilee brought an unexpected surprise: flocks of pink flamingos have chosen to remain at Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael–Jewish National Fund’s (KKL-JNF) Hula Lake, even through the hottest days of summer. For the first time, the flamingos have skipped their usual migration north.

The first grove in Israel dedicated to Prisoners of Zion was inaugurated in a moving ceremony held this morning (Tuesday) in Nof HaGalil, at the KKL-JNF Churchill Forest.

For the first time, the Agamon Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of KKL-JNF received a tawny owl chick that was only a few days old. In the midst of the nesting season, dozens of chicks, among them several species of birds of prey, have received treatment in the Center before being returned to the wild.
