ABOUT
Do you want to learn how animals survive and thrive in one of the driest places on Earth? Are you curious about how global changes affect the ecology and behavior of desert species? If so, you should apply for the workshop on “Animal behavior and ecology in light of global changes” in 2024. This workshop will give you the chance to conduct hands-on field research with expert guidance from international and Israeli scientists. You will learn how to design, execute, and analyze experiments on animal behavior and ecology in the Negev and Arava deserts, a hyper-arid region with remarkable biodiversity. Accommodation and food will be covered for all participants (however, flight expenses are the responsibility of each individual). Don't miss this opportunity to expand your knowledge, skills, and network in one of the most challenging and rewarding environments for scientific research.

The Team
WORKSHOP LOCATIONS
The Arava region, a desert valley stretching from the Dead Sea to Eilat along Israel's border with Jordan, is a remarkable natural enclave. Here, an array of diverse flora and fauna coexist, originating from the Sahara, East Africa, the Central Asian Desert, and Arabia. Its strategic geographical location, adorned with biblical landscapes, places it on a major global bird migration route.
The arid desert conditions and the region's unique ecology provide an ideal habitat for indigenous bird species to nest and thrive.
