It is one of the few countries in the world with more trees today than a century ago. Israel is a leader in combating desertification, which contributes to the loss of biodiversity and increases the risk of global warming. The future strength of Israel will depend not only on security issues, but also on making sure that the coming generations of Israelis live in a clean environment.

One such Israeli university working in all of these areas is Bar-Ilan University (BIU).
