KKL-JNF-Easy to Breathe
In March 2017, KKL-JNF and the Ministry of Environmental Protection launched "KKL-JNF Easy to Breathe" - a national environmental program to reduce pollution and environmental risks, and to improve the air quality and quality of life of Israeli residents.
The plan is comprised of four initiatives to be carried out in cooperation with a number of government and non-government organizations, totaling NIS 390 million.
