This will be the 6th year in which the Zoological Center Ramat-Gan’s Safari’s White-tailed Eagles will be participating in the Champions of the Flyway.

For all other 364 days of the year, we practice keeping and conserving a variety of avian species, some critically endangered. We have chosen the White-tailed Eagle to be our namesake. This magnificent raptor was once a part of the Israeli avifauna, but very few people had the privilege of seeing it soaring in the Israeli sky. Like other raptors the White-tailed Eagle had disappeared due to human activity.Today very few birds are left, and they too are a result of a breeding program and great efforts.

The Zoological Center Ramat Gan takes part in the Israeli breeding program and makes great efforts so that our breeding pair will parent 2 chicks every year. The African open area at the zoo attracts migrating birds and serves as a green safe haven for them to rest, feed and gain strength.

Our Israeli wildlife hospital is a joint initiative with the Israeli Nature Protection Authorities. Over 4000 wild animals, mostly birds, are being treated at the hospital every year. About 45% of them end up being released back to the wild.

We believe that the best way to protect nature is a combination of in-situ and ex-situ conservation, and education that increases awareness, love and respect for nature.
