The Council for a Beautiful Israel

About us

Beautiful Israel (CBI) is an independent, public, non-profit organization that promotes progress in the quality of life in Israel. Its operation is self-financed as well as through donations from philanthropists and foundations from Israel and abroad.
Since its founding almost 50 years ago, in 1968, by the Interior Committee of the Knesset, CBI has been actively involved in a vast number of environmental missions, and in dozens of projects aimed at consolidating environmental initiatives for the benefit of the public. CBI's work stems from the approach whereby all citizens must assume responsibility and take an active part in safeguarding and shaping the environment – for themselves and for future generations. 

CBI enjoys the dedicated support of 2,000 longtime committed volunteers; they are supported by 11 branches throughout the country. Public dignitaries and leaders from various sectors have been volunteering with CBI as members of the Board and its committees.

CBI operates in three main modes: Environmental Education, National Campaigns and Field Activity.

Environmental Education and National Campaigns: CBI is synonymous with environmental education; its flagship activity is imparting knowledge about the environment to the general public, of all age groups, throughout all sectors of society. It specializes in the development and implementation of study and leadership programs. In addition, CBI conducts awareness campaigns to shape public opinion on issues of safeguarding of the environment.
