The continuous efforts of Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael – Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF) to plant and preserve forests, create green lungs around communities, develop water sources, and educate the public on environmental protection have never been more important. As the global climate crisis escalates, and climate events and disasters become more frequent, we are doubling our efforts to support global efforts and promote a sustainable planet.

KKL-JNF manages 300,000 acres of forests and natural woodland. We work tirelessly to conserve, protect and rehabilitate these forests, and combat forest fires. Israeli forests sequester three million tons of atmospheric CO2 per year, contributing significantly to the mitigation of global warming. To further promote awareness to the importance of environmental protection, KKL-JNF has created thousands of parks and recreation areas, preserving natural resources for future generations.

Our effective land management and afforestation practices -- adopted by other countries—successfully reduce desertification. We support renewable energy research and lead community-based renewable solar energy projects, especially in the desert.
