Shemurat Har HaNegev, Nature reserve in Southern District, Israel.
The Shemurat Har HaNegev reserve contains mountains, plateaus, and valleys across its terrain, forming a complex network of diverse desert ecosystems.
The Israeli government established this nature reserve in September 1989 to safeguard the ecological characteristics of the Negev region for future generations.
Scientists and researchers regularly visit the reserve to study and document the adaptations of local species to the challenging desert environment.
Visitors can access marked trails throughout the reserve from November to April, when temperatures are most suitable for outdoor exploration.
The reserve houses numerous plant and animal species that have developed specific mechanisms to survive in extremely dry conditions.
