Naf-Iolr Information

Since 2008, NAF-IOLR has developed a collaboration with Jewish National Fund-USA (JNF) to raise money jointly for coral restoration research. JNF-USA has an extensive portfolio of environmental projects in Israel that focus on Environmental Restoration and Sustainable Development. IOLR has been designated an Israeli Partner organization of JNF. This partnership enables JNF to support efforts to improve Eilat's Red Sea coral reefs, a major tourist attraction that is under severe stress. JNF's other environmental restoration efforts include restoring wetlands in the Hula Valley, greening the Carmel forests with indigenous species, and restoring the Besor River system in the northern Negev.
