A warrior in the struggle against desertification, Prof. Alon Tal knows how Israel can contribute in many spheres of global environmental work. "Desertification is an issue which remains an orphan in the international field," explains the professor, who was interviewed at the four-day international conference entitled "Drylands, Deserts, and Desertification -- the Route to Restoration," held at Ben-Gurion University (BGU) in November. The trouble with desertification, he explains, is that it tends to be perceived as an African problem, even though wealthy nations like the US and Italy, and Israel too, have historically had problems with it. He describes the BGU desertification conference, which has been held three times in Israel, as a "rare expression of solidarity for the hundreds of millions of people worldwide whose lives are affected by desertification," which leads to famine, refugees and cultural turbulence. As for Israel's potential role in global environmental work, Tal says that precisely because Israel is such a small country, it's like a fast-forward for the world: "What Israel's doing in terms of desalination or wastewater re-use "are things that the whole world is going to be doing, sooner or later," he says.

An Israeli scientist has found a new way to farm fish in urban environments. This method is environmentally friendly and very beneficial given the rapid depletion of fish sources in our oceans due to over-fishing. Hopefully, this research can reverse this damaging trend of fish depletion by providing another form of fish farming that can be achieved in urban settings and on land. Professor Yonatan Zohar has developed this revolutionary method in which the fish farm is large enough to hold and allow for a healthy environment for the fish but small enough to fit in urban settings such as warehouses.
