Environmental Planning in a Nature Reserve

Thursday night I lost my way in a Nature Reserve near the Maccabean  Tombs. The reserve has stone building with sanitary services, but the management will not operate the local, antiquated wastewater treatment plant. Parts of the reserve are let out to marriage "halls" (pic) but the Ministry of Health will not allow them operate without a wastewater treatment solution. I am planning a small rotary drums plant and the treated wastewater will be recycled in forest irrigation. Technically it is quite simple, the challenging (and expensive) part is getting it approved by all the bureaucracies.  Each tree and rat hole is catalogued and cannot be touched without permission. Some plants and animals are a little different from those five kilometers afar, and have been declared protected and in danger of extinction. A recent study classified seven different varieties of scorpions in Israel, all candidates to the "Protected" status.  It gets on my nerves that the "nature" the bureaucracies are defending is nothing more than the overgrazed shrub-bush, sadly degraded by the fucking (and fucked) Arab goat. Anyway, Israel has been densely inhabited for eight or ten thousand years, by humans and by the Neanderthals, so what is natural? On the other hand (I still have two hands), the public demands "Nature" and that it be "Protected" against themselves, so the poor salary-drawing homolesbian environmentalist is forced to invent it.
