In animal news, a rare frog is seen after half a century in Israel. The Hula Painted
Frog, also known as the Palestinian Painted Frog (Discoglossus nigriventer) has been discovered
at Ha’Hula Lake in northern Israel. The species was previously assumed to be extinct.
Dr. Dana Milstein, an ecologist with the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, believes that
the frog’s survival is due to the decision to restore the Hula Valley marshes. Approximately
500 million migrating birds pass through this area every year.
What joyous news! May such eco-friendly policies continue to support vibrant biodiversity on
our planet.�
