In an important project, I am being asked to report on its impact on the eco-corridors. I am fighting so the project will not become another victim of the Society for the Protection of Nature's campaign to protect eco-corridors for wildlife (see green patches on the map). The existence of such corridors first gained statutory recognition in 2016 within the framework of an amended National Master Plan for Construction, Development and Conservation (“TAMA 35”). 25% of Israel has been reserved for "Nature". In the green areas, no development and no building will be permitted.
As witnessed last week in Sheikh-Jarrah, where the Government tried to evict 23 illegal occupants and failed, we are impotent against Arabs. The wilderness protection legislation will be applied only to Jews. De facto apartheid indeed.
