Friends Of The Arava Institute Ltd
The Friends of the Arava Institute’s mission is to support the critical work of the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies through public awareness, student recruitment and fundraising campaigns. The Arava Institute for Environmental Studies is an environmental, research, and academic institution located in Israel, dedicated to advancing cross-border environmental cooperation in the face of political conflict.

•Prepare future Arab and Jewish leaders to cooperatively solve the region’s environmental challenges
•Maintain high academic standards.
•Deliver teaching and trans-boundary research opportunities at the highest quality and level to students from the Middle East and from all over the world
•Play a leading role in research, conservation, environmental protection and sustainable development in the region.
