 m>Settling Nature: The Conservation Regime in Palestine-Israel</em></a> (20
 23\, University of Minnesota Press). Drawing on more than seventy interview
 s with Israel's nature officials and on observations of their work\, this b
 ook explores the widespread ecological warfare practiced by the state of Is
 rael. Recruited to the front lines as part of this warfare are the fallow d
 eer\, gazelles\, wild asses\, griffon vultures\, pine trees\, and cows on t
 he Israeli side—against the goats\, camels\, olive trees\, hybrid goldfinch
 es\, and akkoub on the Palestinian side. The state’s use of these nonhuman 
 organisms as soldiers in a human war is all the more effective because natu
 re camouflages their tactical deployment as such. At the end of the day\, t
 he administration of nature by the state of Israel advances both the Zionis
 t project of Jewish settlement and the corresponding dispossession of non-J
 ews from this space.</p><p>Irus Braverman is professor of law\, adjunct pro
