MASHAV INTERNATIONAL TRAINING COURSE
"ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT OF NATURE PARKS AND RESERVES"
(TEL AVIV – KIBBUTZ KETURA – JERUSALEM, ISRAEL)
МІЖНАРОДНИЙ НАВЧАЛЬНИЙ КУРС MASHAV
«ЕКОЛОГІЧНИЙ МЕНЕДЖМЕНТ ПРИРОДНИХ ПАРКІВ ТА ЗАПОВІДНИКІВ»
(ТЕЛЬ-АВІВ – КІБУЦ КЕТУРА – ЄРУСАЛИМ, ІЗРАЇЛЬ)
The MASHAV International training course
"Environmental Management of Nature Parks and
Reserves" brought together 25 middle-career experts
in nature conservation from 12 countries of Europe
(Ukraine, Albania, Serbia), Africa (Botswana, Ghana,
Kenya), Asia (Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam), and South
America (Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay). The meeting was
hosted by the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies
(http://arava.org/) under the aegis of MASHAV – Israel's
Agency for International Development Cooperation
(http://mfa.gov.il/mfa/mashav) from November 27 till
December 13, 2016 mainly at Kibbutz Ketura, Israel
(www.ketura.org.il). The place is located in the heart of
Israel's Arava desert and has important value for science,
environmental education, and international cooperation.
Here, the idea that nature knows no political borders is
more than a belief.
The main aim of the course was to provide an
understanding of the concept of Ecosystem Services, its
terminology, division into categories, and its ecological,
anthropological and economic aspects.

The participants got acquainted with different
approaches to nature conservation in Israel, the
peculiarities of structure and functioning of various
protected areas. They were provided with the most
important principles of agriculture in arid and semi-
arid lands. They also obtained basic practical knowledge
about the structure and function of arid land ecosystems
and various adaptations of living organisms to the harsh
conditions in a desert.
The participants have developed various helpful skills
which will be used in practice of nature conservation in
their native countries. They have also learned how to
build a management scheme based on the Ecosystem
Services concept and how to engage local communities
and other stakeholders.
Ukraine was represented by 6 participants from
various regions and organizations of the country: Prof.,
Dr. Mariia Fedoriak (Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi
National University), Dr. Mykyta Peregrym (Taras
Shevchenko National University of Kyiv), Dr. Nina
Polchaninova (V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National
University), Dr. Yevheniia Varyvoda (National
University of Civil Protection of Ukraine), Olena
Osypchuk (Holosiivsky National Nature Park), and
622 ISSN 0372-4123. Ukr. Bot. J., 2016, 73(6)
Nataliia Vertyporokh (Carpathian National Nature
Park). All participants were selected by Israel's Agency
for International Development Cooperation on the
basis of their applications and phone interviews with
staff of the Embassy of the State of Israel in Ukraine.
Favourable conditions, namely the MASHAV grants
covering all expenses for training, accommodation,
meals, transfers, etc., facilitated participation of the
Ukrainian experts. The participants had to cover their
travel costs only.
The training course started in Tel Aviv where staff
members greeted us as participants upon our arrival
to Israel. We also had some time for sightseeing and
preparation for living in rural area. After that we took
a 4-hour bus ride to Kibbutz Ketura, which is located
in the southern part of Israel, about 50 km north of
Eilat. This location became our home for the next two
weeks. The scientific and practical parts of the training
course started on November 29 with an introduction
and overview of the program by Dr. Shmuel Brenner
(Director of the Arava Center for Sustainable
Development), Dr. Elli Groner (Scientific Director
of the Dead Sea & Arava Science Center), and the
MASHAV team. All participants were asked to deliver
5-minute presentations about their countries, as well
as the state and peculiarities of nature conservation
and speak on their professional, educational and social
activities, scientific research, expectations from the
course, etc. As Ukraine had the largest delegation,
it was decided that Prof. Dr. Mariia Fedoriak would
present general information about our country and its
natural conditions, and subsequent communications
of our delegates would be focused on their personal
achievements in environmental protection, education
and research.
The following weeks we attended interesting
lectures by the leading scientists of Israel. Here is a
brief overview of some of them. Dr. Elli Groner made
an introduction to the Ecosystem Services concept,
mentioned the principles, structure and function of
deserts as well as Ecological Integrity and Human Well-
being. Dr. Daniel Orenstein (The Technion – Israel
Institute of Technology) presented two original lectures
under the titles “One person's invasive species is
another person's lunch: Diversity in Ecosystem Service
Assessment” and “Putting the socio in long-term socio-
ecological research”. Dr. Tal Polak (Israeli Nature and
Parks Authorities) talked about problems and practices
of conservation biology in Israel. Prof. Dr. Uriel Safriel
(Hebrew University of Jerusalem) made presentation
"Global Stewardship of Environment and Development"
having paid special attention to organisation and the role
of biosphere reserves. Dr. Alon Lotan, the coordinator
of HaMaarag – Israel's National Ecosystem Assessment
Program, shared experience and success in realization
of the National Program. Dr. David Brand (Chief JNF-
KKL Forester) spoke about modern approaches to
forestry in Israel in the context of the Ecosystem Services
concept. Dr. Elaine Solowey (Director of the Centre
for Sustainable Agriculture) focused in her lecture on
Sustainable Desert Agriculture. Moreover, she shared
her fascinating experience of successful germination
of an ancient date palm seed. This modern day miracle
has been covered by many reputable scientific journals
("Science", "National Geographic", etc.) as well as
discussed in mass media (https://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Judean_date_palm). The 11-year-old sprout is
currently thriving on the territory of Kibbutz Ketura
(not far from the guest house the participants of the
course stayed at).
It is worth mentioning that Israel, with a population
over 8.5 million today, is highly sensitive to environ-
mental concerns. However, it is among the world's
leading countries in implementation of the state-of-
the-art technologies in environmental protection. It is
particularly valuable that all the respected professionals
have been ready to share their knowledge and experience
with participants of the training course.
We had also several workshops which allowed us to
learn the methodology of DPSIR-analysis, stakeholder
map analysis, building the problem and objective trees
and other modern approaches to mitigation of conflict
between wild nature and human society.
The participants of the course had a practical task to
develop a project for a specific nature park or reserve.
We have gained an invaluable experience working in
international teams and searching for compromise
solutions to conflict of wildlife and humans. One of the
projects, headed by N. Vertyporokh and O. Osypchuk,
was devoted to preventing illegal fires in Holosiivskyi
National Nature Park, raising fire awareness through
public information and youth education campaign.
Another important output of the project was involving
communities in decision-making process of planning
a better recreational infrastructure in the surrounding
territories. All of these activities were aimed at improving

the environmental management of Holosiivskyi
National Nature Park in order to ensure protection
and conservation of valuable natural complexes on its
territory. Other Ukrainian delegates participated in
other projects focused on mitigation of the human-
elephants conflict in Kenya, establishing a National
Nature Park in Tirana, Albania, based on the modern
principles of environmental management, and others.
Beside that, our group toured a variety of nature
reserves and parks, including the International
Birdwatching and Research Center, the Coral Beach
in Eilat, Evrona (site of the 2014 oil spill), Hai-Bar
Yotvata, and the Ein Gedi Nature Reserve. We had very
knowledgeable guides there, Dr. Omer Polak (Ben-
Gurion University), Dr. Tal Polak, and Dr. Elli Groner.
Highlights of the course included: guided snorkelling
on the Coral Reef; MASHAV culture night with kibbutz
members joining to learn from participants about their
cultures; a final ceremony in Jerusalem attended by the
Director of MASHAV training programs, Ambassador
Mattanya Cohen, in addition to ambassadors and
consulate representatives from the Albania, Botswana
and Paraguay embassies in Israel.
Participation in the MASHAV International training
course "Environmental Management of Nature Parks
and Reserves" was very valuable for all of us. We are now
going to start using the Ecosystem Services concept
in our practice of nature conservation, environmental
education and biodiversity assessment in Ukraine.
The authors of the article are sincerely grateful
to the MASHAV – Israel's Agency for International
Development Cooperation, the Arava Institute for
Environmental Studies and the Embassy of the State
of Israel in Ukraine for an amazing opportunity to take
part in the training course.
