Evrona
On Wednesday, December 3, 2014, some 5,000 cubic meters of crude oil leaked from the Eilat Ashkelon Pipeline Company’s oil pipeline in the vicinity of Be’er Ora. The oil flowed for about six kilometers from the point of the spill and created sub-channels until it finally reached the Evrona Nature Reserve, causing extensive ecological damage. The Israel Plant GeneBank examined the ability of of wild local species and cultivated crops to germinate and the survival capacity of the seedlings and their development in the soil contaminated by the aforementioned oil spills.
