On Saturday (13/11/21) there will be a demonstration of support for saving Nahal Saadia, which according to the existing plan will be destroyed and covered with concrete for the construction of a high-tech park, only 10% of which will remain.
◄ Nahal Saadia - an explanation from the field - filmed in preparation for the conference by the Hai Pa system
In a conversation with Lahi Pa, Eric Drobot, an activist for the preservation of Nahal Saadia and who will meet with the mayor on the subject, said:
"We had hoped that the municipality would promote our goals, which are actually to design alternative plans to the existing plan and to designate the place as a reserve or an ecological park. The plan that currently exists is to establish a high-tech park and leave a small artificial corner that will replace the nature that exists today. Of the 90%, leave only 10%. It was We hope to draw the attention of those concerned, who will understand that the plan is outdated and suitable for the old Israel and not for the Israel of today, Israel 2021. The mayor does not wish to cancel the plan, but she has no problem trying to reduce the damage in the existing plan."
"The purpose of the demonstration is to show the municipality and the other authorities that are not taking anything that a large public wants the river to stay here."
Invitation to the conference to save the river - Saturday 13/11/21 - 12:00
Avidan Ya'akov, an activist for the preservation of Nahal Saadia:
"We invited many residents in order to save the stream. It is a stream that has 6 springs. It is a historically amazing place and used to be a junction for all the horses and carts. There is also a Turkish bridge where the Ottoman train crossed to Damascus. The stream is abundant with animals and fish. It is a nature reserve within Haifa. We are interested in the municipality Upgrade it and designate it for the residents of Haifa."
Continuous monitoring of Hai Pa
We live here covering the story of the river and conducting video tours since 2016. We will not let up on this story until there is a series that puts the mind to rest, for the public's well-being and while preserving the values of nature and landscape.
◄ Watch our broadcast from 2016 and you will see that nothing has changed (for the better) since then:
Why aren't Shabbat observers allowed to participate in a demonstration of support for saving the river, which is also a demonstration for saving Haifa.
Hanukkah is an appropriate time.
Hope we will succeed in the fight to save a lovely stream full of life, clear water. One only needs to design a nature corner around it for the well-being of the residents of the city and the country. To clean up the dirt, which is what the volunteers of the group "Shade the Saadia Stream" are currently doing, in their free time, on concentrated days.
It's really insane. Turning a stream with a winter swamp into a concrete plain is a danger to lives. This area forms a drainage basin of Mount Carmel towards the sea. As soon as they turn the place into a concrete plain, the whole area will be flooded in the winter after every light rain and will cost lives, God forbid, especially in a place that is central and close to important infrastructures. Really or stupidity and narrow view of the municipality. Lack of places to improve and turn them into high-tech centers? What about all the abandoned movie theaters? Whole buildings closed with planks?
Well done to you, Yaron Karmi, thank you
Where are all the environmental activists of Klish?
gone?
Were you instructed not to support?
Yaron excellent explanation!
What activists have we not seen? Better not see them. Because we suffer, so why didn't they speak up? Because they seem to have realized that there is no one to talk to
It is sealed.
I hope they don't destroy the stream. This is a piece of heaven. And you have to keep it
90 years of neglect! There is no chance of changing the situation Haifa municipality will give permission to everyone when they get money to close holes in the budget
I wish good luck!
