Why Run?

Water Renewal

JNF has been at the forefront of water management and conservation in Israel for two decades, increasing the country’s total water supply by 12% and helping Israel become a leader in water recycling. JNF’s network of 220 recycled water reservoirs provide almost half of the water used for agriculture in Israel, saving enough freshwater to meet the needs of 4.4 million people a year.

Green Innovations
As an innovator in ecological development and a pioneer in forest creation and fire prevention, JNF has planted more than 250 million trees in Israel, providing luscious belts of green. JNF’s parks and forests are enjoyed by millions of people.
Through agricultural infrastructure development, research, and soil conservation, JNF has been able to create and extend the presence of fertile land where there was once endless desert.

You can make a difference in efforts to sustaining the environment!
