Yehoshua Shakdi, the chief scientist at the Nature and Parks Authority, said that the authority is carrying out the necessary actions to preserve nature in an era of climate change, but admitted that the intensity of the actions must be "greatly increased" According to him, "Government ministries, especially the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of the Interior, the Water Authority, the regional and local government, must be demanded to support the authority's actions, enact laws and allocate appropriate budgets.

Together, it will be possible to overcome a significant part of the effects of climate change on nature."
