Wadi Jannata protected area lies close to the West Bank barrier “security fence”, part of a transboundary ecological corridor running between Israel and the West Bank. The reserve is located close to major urban areas in the West Bank and stands as one of the remaining wildlife refuge to ensure continuity on both sides of the seam zone. Uncrossed by major roads and protected from urban expansion, its territory gathers potential agricultural land, heritage sites and biodiversity.
