The Environmental Education Program The goal of the program is to bring the Negev Bedouin, mostly the children, closer to issues of nature conservation and protection of the environment and heritage sites, and to raise their awareness in these areas. The program will be coordinated with the school system in Bedouin communities.
Background The Bedouin communities in the Negev are surrounded by and part of a highly delicate desert ecological system. Most of the Negev Bedouin are very familiar with nature; until recently most made their living as shepherds, and were therefore dependent on natural systems.Though this is no longer the case, the Bedouin still constitute the main influence on the sensitive ecosystem of the desert. As with other communities in Israel, the Bedouin carry out various activities that damage open spaces, nature, and landscape. Sometimes the damage is longterm to resources the community enjoys. In short: damage to the environment means damage to the community’s quality of life.
Environmental Education Among the Bedouin community Education is among the Israel Nature and Parks Authority's most important long-term goals. Protecting nature, landscape and heritage cannot succeed without the support of the community and its understanding of the value of these treasures. The Bedouin community is impact and at the same time, being impacted by the ecological desert system, therefore education for fostering nature and the local environment is extremely important among this community. Educational activities on nature protection and conservation of heritage sites, in both formal and informal frameworks, are carried out in a minor way, with no visible results. The Israel Nature and Parks Authority therefore views as its obligation to foster environmental education among the Negev Bedouin.
Objectives To hold in-service training days for supervisors and principals in the Bedouin school system, and directors of education departments in Bedouin communities. To establish informal nature education groups in Bedouin communities. To train environmental leaders and future instructors. To build and implement a tour program with a country-wide itinerary on nature and the environment. To mentor 11th and 12th grade students on isotope and ecotope projects at Hai-Ramon. To translate and produce written training and enrichment materials in Arabic.
