Let’s continue to amplify art as a force for Planetary Healing.
Cranes
Vardit Goldner
Common cranes used to migrate from Europe and Asia to Africa in autumn and back in spring. Many of them would stop for a break at the Hula (a small lake located in the north of Israel) and resume their journey the following day. As the lake’s surrounding is replete with agriculture (such as corn and fish), the cranes used to feast on them and continue on their way. In order to save the crops, the cranes are now fed proactively, every morning. As a result, the cranes stopped causing damage to nearby agriculture, but many cranes are now addicted to the food provided to them and prefer to stay in the area in the winter, rather than resume their migration to Africa. In the winter of 2021-2022 the cranes were plagued by bird flu. Due to so many cranes being packed into close quarters, roughly 10,000 died. More photos from the series “Cranes”.
