Buma the Barn Owl: The Farmer’s Friend follows a family of barn owls living in nest boxes in Israeli fields and shows how these birds help farmers by hunting rodents instead of using chemical pesticides. With clear, fact-based text by Prof. Yossi Leshem and striking photographs by Amir Ezer, the book explains how barn owls are used in biological pest control, how scientists and farmers work together to protect them, and why this cooperation is important for wildlife conservation and sustainable agriculture. An accompanying DVD (in some editions) includes learning materials, videos and owl calls, making the book a practical educational resource for schools and nature programs.
