In 1982, Israel released 28 wild donkeys to its desert; 44 years later, they created an oasis in one of Earth’s most extreme places

In an effort to rejuvenate the parched landscape of Israel’s Ramon Crater, wild donkeys were brought back into the ecosystem. These resilient animals played a crucial role by creating waterholes, which became essential for desert wildlife. Additionally, their droppings helped spread acacia seeds, promoting the growth of trees. Their natural movements resulted in water-retaining depressions, significantly transforming the area’s ecology into a thriving environment that has caught global attention.
