SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF NATURE IN ISRAEL OFFERS TOURISTS HISTORY, HIKING AND NATURE

Visitors to Israel who want to learn about the flora, fauna, history and Biblical traditions of their special land, while they see the sights and sites, frequently by foot, have but one choice: the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel (SPNI).

"SPNI is the only organization that brings together in one sightseeing experience the entire story of the Biblical history and traditions of Israel and also presents the travelers our amazing plant and animal life," said Stephanie Glickman, director of the New York office of SPNI. "Moreover, SPNI enables the visitor to see the land the way our forefathers did, on foot."

This unique organization, born in 1953 from a desire to involve both tourists and Israelis in learning about and preserving the nation's numerous natural features and to fight for legislation to protect the environment, features more than 20 hiking tours.

The tours range in difficulty from easy, such as strolling the streets of Jerusalem, to moderate, perhaps hiking among the streams in the Banias Nature Reserve, to difficult, crawling through man-made caves. They encompass a varied landscape comprising modern, bustling cities, forest-covered mountain ranges, arid deserts and lushly landscaped valleys with rivers running through them or dotted by lambent lakes.

The tours, led by highly trained professionals, fluent in English and schooled by two years rigorous study in the Biblical past, history, geography, culture, traditions and the natural life of Israel, range from one day tours to excursions of 15 days. The former include day tours of Jerusalem, Masada and the Judean Desert. "SPNI guides are the best trained of any tour guides in Israel, if not the world," said Ms. Glickman.

A full-day walking archaeological tour of Jerusalem's historical Old City takes the visitor to such historic sites as the Western Wall, the City of David and the Herodian Quarter ($44). For the one-day tour of Masada, Ein Gedi and the Dead Sea, tourists travel by bus from Jerusalem through the hills of the Judean Desert. Then it's by cable car to the top of Masada where, in the year 70 AD, 967 brave Israelites withstood the onslaught of 10,000 Roman soldiers before committing suicide rather than surrender. In the lush, green oasis of the Ein Gedi Nature Reserve, the visitor will view hyrax and ibex in their native surroundings. Before returning to Jerusalem, there is a swim, or more accurately, a float, in the Dead Sea, lowest point and the saltiest body or water on earth ($59).

There are three one-day visits to the Judean Desert, one featuring the Absalom stalactite caves ($52) and the other two including visits to the Monastery of St. George, dating from the 5th century, situated on the side of a cliff and still occupied by Monks ($48 and $55). Two popular tours are the three-day excursion to the Galilee and the Golan in the north ($284) and the five-day camel tour in the south's Eilat Mountains ($292).

The first visits, the three-day excursion, for moderate to good hikers, includes three to four hours of hiking on the first and last day. Among the tour's attractions are a visit to a Druze village, hiking along the streams in the Banias Nature Reserve-- the Banias River is one of the three sources of the Jordan River and views of the dramatic Banias Waterfall and Mount Hermon, where Israelis ski in winter.

The second tour takes the traveler by camel along the African-Syrian rift valley in the south, into basins and gorges and to the top of Mr. Berech for beautiful views of Israel's Timna Valley. Two nights are spent sleeping al fresco under the desert stars. "After traveling by camel all day, there is no difficulty sleeping at night," said Ms. Glickman, "and the stars make it even more restful.

"Many of the 4,000 or so foreign tourists who go on SPNI tours each year do so as part of their visit to Israel," said Ms. Glickman, "but we are getting more and more of those who are coming specifically and only for the SPNI experience. And for those the longer tours are very popular." Ms. Glickman said that with the addition of the New York office she could see the number of Americans going on SPNI tours doubling within the next two years.

One of the favorite tours, according Ms. Glickman, is the appropriately named "Perfect Tour." (*98 youth hostel, $1290 tourist class, $1595 deluxe hotel). The 12-day tour includes some days with four to six hours of hiking. They take the visitor the entire length of the country, from the Golan and the Galilee on the north, to Eilat and the Red Sea on the south.

The tour includes snorkeling and swimming among the Red Sea's coral reefs, a two-hour camel ride in the vicinity of the Ramon Crater, a three-four hour hike through canyons containing fossil remains, a drive to Neot Kedumim, the world's only Biblical landscape reserve, a tour of the world's oldest copper mines, crawling through man- made tunnels and much more.

An even more extensive 15- day tour, also appropriately named, "The Complete Active Tour of Israel," ($1094 youth hostel, $1628 tourist class, $2025 deluxe hotel) includes both the length and the breadth of the land, from the urban bustle of Tel Aviv on the west coast to the salty solitude of the Dead Sea on the eastern border with Jordan.

Until recently most visitors from the U.S. booked their SPNI tours after their arrival in Israel. With the advent of the New York office this past summer, American tourists may book their tours prior to departing the U.S. "It makes things much more convenient and manageable for the traveler if they book through our office," advises Ms. Glickman, who also counsels booking tours four to six weeks in advance. "We will also customize tours for groups if there is interest among a sufficient number of travelers."

The non-profit, non- governmental SPNI is Israel's largest such group working to preserve the environment and the nation's historical legacies. The hiking tours, for foreign visitors and natives alike, are the best known aspect of its work.

"Our tours represent a wide selection of interests and physical abilities," said Ms. Glickman, who emphasized such officially designated categories of interest as archaeology, bird watching, butterflies, flora and fauna, flowers in bloom and geology. "There are also such things as adventure tours for ages 15-8, bicycle tours, Bible tours for Jews and for Christians, Negev, Sinai, Jordan and Red Sea tours. We even have special one night tours and special tours for each month. It's all rather fitting for a country with so many attractions for tourists with so many varied interests."

Israel and You August 23, 2013 Attractions , Nature

The Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel (SPNI) is Israel’s leading environmental non-profit organization. For the past 60 years SPNI has been dedicated to protecting and preserving Israel’s natural resources, environment, natural assets and unique landscape. The work carried out by SPNI now will determine what the land of Israel will look like in the generations to come.

The Environmental Protection Department is involved in pioneering research projects and developing a body of knowledge that is used to drive SPNI’s activities and to create sustainable solutions to environmental issues in Israel. This includes developing energy policy, conserving water supplies, protecting Israel’s native species, participating in planning and zoning committees, coordinating public campaigns, lobbying and advocacy.

Our Education Department manages and develops environmental programs for hundreds of thousands of young Israelis, in both formal and informal settings, inspiring them to engage with their surroundings and raise an environmentally responsible and proactive generation.

SPNI’s revolutionary vision for urban lifestyle in the 21st century is encapsulated by our Kehilot (Urban Communities), a hub for green activism, sustainable green living and higher quality of life in cities. Our Kehilot are managed locally with emphasis on the unique challenges facing each community. Through the Kehilot SPNI strengthens civil society, trains decision makers, protects open spaces and preserves urban nature sites, for the public and with the public.

SPNI operates Eco-Community Centers located in Israel’s social and economic periphery that work to fill societal gaps by creating a cadre of passionate young people who feel connected to their immediate surroundings and are empowered to make changes in their immediate environment. Through these programs we create grassroots movements that expand their circles of influence to make positive environmental changes at the national level.

SPNI’s International Ornithological Center (IOC) operates a network of birding centers that monitors migration patterns of 500 million birds on behalf of the international community, provides safe haven for birdlife and makes Israel a world center for bird watchers. The IOC is also involved in regional collaborations with the Palestinian Authority and Jordan.

Recognized for their expert guides and high standard of educational programming, SPNI’s Field Schools are a network of Eco-Tourism Centers, situated in Israel’s most striking nature reserves. Our field schools are used as bases for nature excursions and hikes, a central pillar of Israeli culture. SPNI also initiated and maintains the popular Israel National Trail.

Sustainable Travel and Ecotourism in Israel

In Israel, the enormously active and inventive Society for Protection of Nature in Israel, or SPNI (www.natureisrael.org), sponsors projects that protect the environment and promote awareness of threats to the natural beauty of the county, the urban landscape, and the ecological balance of the region. SPNI offers a program of superb walks, hikes, tours, 1-day to weeklong trips, and lectures about issues of conservation. Most tours are in Hebrew, but this is a very English-friendly organization with an English-language affiliate, the American friends of SPNI (natureisrael.org/aspni).

The Jewish Coalition for Service (www.ivolunteer.org.il) can plug you into many projects in Israel (you don't have to be Jewish).

Eco-Tourism

Israel has a number of collective and cooperative (kibbutz and moshav) communities that practice organic farming, recycling, and host programs in eco-tourism. Kibbutz Lotan  (kibbutzlotan.com), in the dramatic Arava Valley (Southern Negev), is a kibbutz founded in the 1980s by American immigrants to Israel who have taken the lead in showing Israelis how to create environmentally gentle, sustainable desert communities, organic farming, and exciting architecture based on natural and recycled materials. Lotan, together with neighboring kibbutzim Yahel and Ketura, has set up programs of desert eco-study, eco-hikes, birding, meditation, relaxation, and massage that are truly excellent, especially in tandem with the chance to live in and observe these communities; the  Arava Institute  (arava.org) offers information.  Succah in the Desert  (www.succah.co.il), in the central Negev highlands just outside Mitzpe Ramon, is one of the few eco-accommodations in Israel—it is very simple but has charm and mystique. Also in Mitzpe Ramon, the Isrotel Ramon Inn (www.isrotel.co.il) is one of Israel's environmentally friendly major hotels. The organic farming community of Klil, near the northwestern border of Israel, is filled with artists and craftspeople who have built unusual homes and studios. It also hosts a ceramics workshop that helps preserve and encourage the artistry of traditional Ethiopian Jewish potters.

In Jordan, the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (www.rscn.org.jo) maintains a careful network of nature reserves and a sustainable tourism base among the tribal people of the magnificent, wild Dana Nature Reserve.

Sustainable tourism is conscientious travel. It means being careful with the environments you explore and respecting the communities you visit. Two overlapping components of sustainable travel are eco-tourism and ethical tourism. The International Ecotourism Society (TIES) defines eco-tourism as responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment, sustains the well-being of the local people, and involves interpretation and education. TIES suggests that eco-tourists follow these principles:

• Minimize physical, social, behavioral, and psychological impacts.
• Build environmental and cultural awareness and respect.
• Provide positive experiences for both visitors and hosts.
• Provide direct financial benefits for conservation.
• Generate financial benefits for both local people and private industry.
• Deliver memorable interpretative experiences to visitors that help raise sensitivity to host countries’ political, environmental, and social climates.
• Design, construct and operate low-impact facilities.
• Recognize the rights and spiritual beliefs of the Indigenous People in your community and work in partnership with them to create empowerment.

You can find some eco-friendly travel tips and statistics, as well as touring companies and associations—listed by destination under "Travel Choice"—at the TIES website, www.ecotourism.org.

While much of the focus of eco-tourism is about reducing impacts on the natural environment, ethical tourism concentrates on ways to preserve and enhance local economies and communities, regardless of location. You can embrace ethical tourism by staying at a locally owned hotel or shopping at a store that employs local workers and sells locally produced goods.

Responsible Travel (www.responsibletravel.com) is a great source of sustainable travel ideas; the site is run by a spokesperson for ethical tourism in the travel industry. Sustainable Travel International (www.sustainabletravel.org) promotes ethical tourism practices, and manages an extensive directory of sustainable properties and tour operators around the world.

In the U.K., Tourism Concern (www.tourismconcern.org.uk) works to reduce social and environmental problems connected to tourism. The Association of Independent Tour Operators ( AITO; www.aito.co.uk) is a group of specialist operators leading the field in making holidays sustainable.

Volunteer travel has become increasingly popular among those who want to venture beyond the standard group-tour experience to learn languages, interact with locals, and make a positive difference while on vacation. Volunteer travel usually doesn't require special skills—just a willingness to work hard—and programs vary in length from a few days to a number of weeks. Some programs provide free housing and food, but many require volunteers to pay for travel expenses, which can add up quickly.

For general info on volunteer travel, visit  www.idealist.org . Specific volunteer options in Israel are listed above, and under "Special-Interest Trips," below.

Before you commit to a volunteer program, it's important to make sure any money you're giving is truly going back to the local community, and that the work you'll be doing will be a good fit for you. International Volunteer Programs Association (IVPA) (www.volunteerinternational.org) has a helpful list of questions to ask to determine the intentions and the nature of a volunteer program.

Animal-Rights Issues

For information on animal-friendly issues throughout the world, visit the Tread Lightly website at www.treadlightly.org. For information about the ethics of swimming with dolphins, visit the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society website at us.whales.org.

Green Dining

A relatively new organization in Israel has begun to issue the Tav Chevrati Seal of Social Justice to restaurants that treat workers fairly and provide careful, personal assistance to customers with disabilities. In Jerusalem, restaurants listed in this book that have received the Tav Chevrati Seal include Keshet, in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City; Joy Grill, Coffee Mill, and 1868 Café in the German Colony; Eldad Vesayhoo, Aroma, Babette's Waffles, Darna, Dr Lek's Ice Cream, Eucalyptus, Marakiyah, Village Green, Little Jerusalem at Ticho House, La Guta, Moshiko's Falafel and Shwarma, and Chakra in Downtown Jerusalem; and Orna and Ella, and Gordon Inn Pub in Tel Aviv.
