About Nature Israel
Nature Israel (previously known as the American Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel/ ASPNI) is a green bridge for Americans who care about Israel and creating a sustainable healthy environment for our planet. Nature Israel raises funds to support the work of the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel (SPNI). Founded in 1953, SPNI is the country’s preeminent environmental organization. Its advocacy efforts have preserved all of Israel’s open spaces since its founding, including catalyzing the creation of its national parks and marine sanctuaries. Its core work maintains national conservation and wildlife protection including for billions of birds in the world’s second largest migration flyway in which Israel is a crucial stopover. Its environmental education programs are provided in schools nation-wide as well as at its eleven field schools. SPNI continues to lead the field in the region, addressing climate change with nature-based solutions, like rewilding Israel’s historic wetlands. Most recently, SPNI created the Nature Heals Initiative which provides eco-therapy to those suffering from trauma. SPNI’s work has a regional and global impact as nature knows no borders in this biodiversity hotspot at the intersection of three continents. Our motto is: Educate. Love. Protect.
