ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

National parks and nature reserves of Israel

Okay kiddo, let me explain to you about national parks and nature reserves in Israel in a simple way.

National parks and nature reserves are like big gardens where the trees, plants, and animals are protected from people who might harm them. In Israel, there are many of these parks and reserves because the country wants to make sure that everyone can enjoy and appreciate nature.

Some parks are really big, like Masada National Park, which is on top of a tall mountain and has a lot of history. Other parks are smaller, like Ein Gedi Nature Reserve, where you can hike and see beautiful waterfalls.

In these parks and reserves, you can see all kinds of animals and plants that you might not see in other places. There are deer, hyraxes, and even wild boars! You can also see rare plants, like the Judean pine tree, which only grows in Israel.

These parks and reserves are important because they help to protect the environment, and they also give us a chance to get outside and enjoy nature. So, next time you visit Israel, make sure to visit a national park or nature reserve – you'll love it!
