In 1982, Israel released 28 wild donkeys; 44 years later, they created a desert oasis

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.
