Israel and Thailand: Collapsibility (Science Leadership Academy)
Society’s Response to its Environmental Problems: 4
There have been efforts in Israel to mitigate the deforestation and extinction of native species resulting from industry. Conservation efforts have been partially successful.
Israel has also made efforts to prevent its water supply from vanishing through better resource management practices.
The Negev Desert had been undergoing desertification for over 2,000 years prior Israel’s agricultural and irrigational development of the region, which has resulted in a reversal of the process.
Overall, Israel appearing to be growing environmentally conscious. In response to signs of environmental problems, it takes moderate action to prevent the problem from worsening or to solve it. Still, Israel’s industrial practices are destructive to its environment, and, as with most industrialized nations, it is difficult to compel industry to behave in a more environmentally conscious manner.
