The Be'eri Badlands (Hebrew: בתרונות בארי, romanized: Bitronot Be'eri) Nature Reserve (also the Crater Reserve (Hebrew: שמורת המכתש, Makhtesh Reserve)[1]) is located in the Western Negev area, northwest of kibbutz Be'eri within the Be'eri Forest.

[2] The badlands area lies in the upper basin of the Sahaf Stream (Nahal Sahaf) and occupies the area of 6,700 dunams.

[2] It is a valley of crater-like landform (makhtesh) with sidewalls of height rising 10-15m, eroded in the loess soil by rainwater and tributaries of the Sahaf Stream.

The reserve contains natural flora and fauna, which disappeared from the surrounding plains due to agriculture.

[2] In April-May 2018 a considerable area of the reserve was burned due to Palestinian airborne arson attacks.
