Anyone who saves one bird is as if he saved a whole world:
The Kimet Israel Foundation established a special HML to combat bird flu together with the relevant government ministries to prevent the outbreak of the virus and save the lives of the birds.
The bird flu virus has been widespread in the world for many years.
In the winter of 2021-2022, the virus broke out all over the world and killed millions of wild birds, mainly water birds like: pelicans, cormorants, seagulls, cormorants and more.
That winter, the population of cranes in Agmon Hula was also affected, and thousands of cranes died as a result.
