The Israel Nature and Parks Authority (רשות הטבע והגנים)(''Rashut Hateva Vehaganim'') is an Israeli government organization that manages nature reserves and national parks in Israel, the Golan Heights and parts of the West Bank. The organization was founded in April 1998, merging two organizations that had managed the nature reserves and national parks separately since 1964. The symbol of the Israel Nature and Parks Authority is the ibex, a mountain goat similar to the antelope.〔(1001 Facts Everyone Should Know About Israel, Mitchell Geoffrey Bard and Moshe Schwartz )〕One of the missions of the Israel Nature and Parks Authority is enforcing Israeli wildlife protection laws.〔(Genetic characterization of the golden jackal and the red fox in Israel )〕 == Regions == In 2007, the Israel Nature and Parks Authority was the overseer of 190 nature reserves and 66 national parks, covering approximately 20 percent of Israel’s land mass.〔(Science-based conservation workshop )〕 All parks and nature reserves are divided into six regions: * Golan Heights, Sea of Galilee, and Galilee * Lower Galilee and their valleys * Mt.
