Many NGO's & Bedouin themselves have said this for several years. Odd that the article doesn't quote anyone. Also interesting point that the new forest areas will bring in non-indigenous species, such as crows, mice, rats etc. Doesn't really seem such a good idea of the JNF's, then. Thoughts anyone? interesting piece in today’s Haaretz (8/12/08) suggesting that the JNF are planting trees to impede Bedouin grazing & agriculture in the Northern Negev.
