Where nature thrives,
humans thrive

Nature is crucial to our survival. For over a century, KKL -JNF has been planting Israel’s forests, promoting biodiversity, combatting desertification, protecting wildlife, and supporting environmental research to ensure a viable natural environment for future generations.

A key player in national environmental initiatives for more than a century, KKL-JNF has spearheaded the creation, management, and preservation of hundreds of thousands of acres of natural forests, woodlands, and urban green lungs across Israel. Its unprecedented forestry project, including the planting of 240 million trees, has increased forested areas in Israel by 1800% since the establishment of the state in 1948.

KKL-JNF promotes a sustainable afforestation policy consistent with global environmental goals. It maintains 250,000 acres of natural forests and woodlands, works to prevent forest fires, and implements advanced forest regeneration programs. It promotes biodiversity, protects green spaces from uncontrolled urban development, and expands green lungs in cities and towns. These activities mitigate climate change; improve air quality by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and by increasing carbon sequestration; contribute to the preservation of soil and water quality; and combat desertification.

In addition, KKL-JNF has built over 8000 kilometers of forest roads and 1000 recreation areas with the goal of promoting public health and wellbeing, and environmental awareness. 

Thanks to KKL-JNF’s green vision, tens of thousands of visitors a year enjoy Israel’s beautiful forests, woods, and open spaces.
