The <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainabilitylabs.org\/ecosystem-restoration\/water-soil-conservation\/#erosion-drylands\" target=\"_blank\">widespread ecosystem degradation<\/a>, loss of all of the Negev\u2019s trees , dramatically reduced biological productivity and competition from grazing livestock all contributed to destroying the basis for survival for wild animals. In addition, herders led a constant war against all predators threatening their livestock, trapping, hunting and killing all predators they were able to. Both degradation and hunting with certainty contributed to a dramatic reduction in wildlife density in the Negev, with remaining concentrations of wild animals pushed into the most remote and inaccessible areas away from population centers. This is the main reason why the Hura area is almost void of large animals, and only consequent large scale restoration efforts will allow restoring the original megafauna to the Negev.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsms_video_wrap_6a36b3b4de904\" class=\"cmsms_video_wrap\">\n<iframe title=\"Ein Gedi\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A_w6qOotEpE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"> \n#cmsms_row_6a36b3b4de953 .cmsms_row_outer_parent { \n\tpadding-top: 20px; \n} \n\n#cmsms_row_6a36b3b4de953 .cmsms_row_outer_parent { \n\tpadding-bottom: 50px; \n} \n\n<\/style><div id=\"cmsms_row_6a36b3b4de953\" class=\"cmsms_row cmsms_color_scheme_default\">\n<div id=\"biomod3-3\" class=\"cmsms_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_margin\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_column one_first\">\n<style type=\"text\/css\"> \n#cmsms_divider_6a36b3b4de98c { \n\tpadding-top:0px; \n\tmargin-bottom:0px; \n} \n<\/style><div id=\"cmsms_divider_6a36b3b4de98c\" class=\"cmsms_divider solid\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"> \n#cmsms_row_6a36b3b4de9a1 .cmsms_row_outer_parent { \n\tpadding-top: 0px; \n} \n\n#cmsms_row_6a36b3b4de9a1 .cmsms_row_outer_parent { \n\tpadding-bottom: 20px; \n} \n\n<\/style><div id=\"cmsms_row_6a36b3b4de9a1\" class=\"cmsms_row cmsms_color_scheme_default\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_margin\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_column one_first\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_text\">\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Large animals and predators were hunted to extinction by farmers and noblemen<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"> \n#cmsms_row_6a36b3b4dea24 .cmsms_row_outer_parent { \n\tpadding-top: 0px; \n} \n\n#cmsms_row_6a36b3b4dea24 .cmsms_row_outer_parent { \n\tpadding-bottom: 20px; \n} \n\n<\/style><div id=\"cmsms_row_6a36b3b4dea24\" class=\"cmsms_row cmsms_color_scheme_default\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_margin\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_column one_first\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_text\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">As stated before, habitat loss due to intensive farming and dense populations likely pushed large wildlife populations out of the Northern Negev already thousands of years ago.
