Abstract

The animal fauna of the Levant (the eastern shoreland of the Mediterranean Sea) is exceptionally rich and diverse. To what extent is this high diversity due to geological history, climate, and substratum? What is the human impact on the fauna of the Levant? It is these and other questions that I address in this article.
