Now’s the time to invest in our planet

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.

To date, KKL-JNF has planted over 240 million trees; and it works 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.

A world leader in water management, we have built 230 water reservoirs for the storage of wastewater and storm runoff–vital assets in the development of irrigated agriculture; these reservoirs prevent the contamination of soil, rivers and streams as well as underground water. Applied agricultural research in KKL-JNF R&D stations enables advanced yet sustainable farming.

KKL-JNF supports the research and development of trailblazing technologies for combatting the climate crisis. To further this goal, we are building a Center for Combatting Climate Change designed to support additional research and development in this field.

Help us continue these critical projects to stop global warming and heal our planet.
