    Zalul Environmental Association's Interests
GeneralSaving the Gulf of Eilat
This vital, beautiful natural resource was under threat from pollutants and commercial fish farming. More than 2,500 tons of fish a year, raised in underwater cages, disturbed the ecological balance of the surrounding sea, spreading disease and causing direct damage to the coral reed and marine life.

Zalul's efforts, the most far-reaching "green" campaign in Israel's history and among the more internationally influential, led to significantly increased public awareness, community involvement and, finally, legislative action.

In June 2005, after more than five years of constant pressure, Israel's government passed a resolution calling for the gradual removal of fish-farming cages. This decision has far-reaching implications for international marine and coral reef conservation efforts.

Reviving the Kishon River
Severe pollution in Haifa's Kishon River had reached lethal levels. Some 50 Israeli Navy Seals divers, who trained in its waters, died of cancer, and many more fell ill. Together with Navy veterans, Zalul mounted a high-profile campaign to clean up the Kishon and protect the surrounding community. The resultant public outcry, including mass demonstrations, persuaded local and national lawmakers to give the issue top priority.

A recent Zalul report on the polluted river banks forced the Ministry of the Environment to thoroughly investigate the damage and its future implications.

Rescuing the Na'aman River
The Na'aman River, near Akko in Northern Israel, is among the country's most polluted - the result of routine sewage dumps by surrounding villages, municipalities and factories. Zalul's campaign led the Akko Municipality and several area industries to build new sewage treatment facilities. Zalul continues to monitor the area's rehabilitation.

Stopping the Sludge
Shafdan, Israel's largest waste treatment facility (and one of the largest in the world) routinely spills sludge into the Mediterranean. Zalul's anti-pollution campaign involved thousands of citizens. As a result, alternative sludge-treatment methods are being implemented and the government has instituted legal action against Shafdan's former management. This campaign set an important precedent in Israel: "the polluters must pay".

About me:
Home


Zalul Association is an environmental not-for-profit organization committed to protecting and maintaining clean, clear water along Israel's rivers and shorelines. Founded in 1999 by a group of concerned citizens alarmed by the ongoing degeneration of Israel's natural water resources and the lack of infrastructure and regulations to safeguard them, Zalul is comprised of a dedicated small team of professionals from various fields, devoted to protecting Israel's natural heritage and to bring issues of environmental protection to the forefront of the public agenda. Today, Zalul is one of Israel's leading environmental NGOs.


עמותת צלול, נוסדה ב 1999, ושמה לה למטרה לשמור על איכות הסביבה בדגש על ימים ונחלים דרך שימור הסביבה, הגברת מודעות, חינוך, פעילות אקטיבית ומחקר. תוך שנים ספורות הפכה צלול לאחד מהארגונים הסביבתיים המובילים בישראל. צלול מוכרת היטב לציבור הישראלי ולמקבלי ההחלטות כמי שמובילה את השמירה על הים, החופים, הנחלים ומקורות המים של ישראל. צלול הצליחה בכל מאבקיה עד היום. באמתחתה רשימת הצלחות וקמפיינים ציבוריים אשר יצרו הד ציבורי נרחב לפעילותה. צלול מצליחה במקומות בהם רבים נכשלו למרות שהיא מתעקשת לבחור נושאים מורכבים ומקרים קשים במיוחד. צלול נאבקת להעלאת מצב הים ונחלי ישראל לסדר היום הפוליטי והציבורי ולשם כך מפעילה צוות מגוון הכולל אנשי מקצוע מתחומים מגוונים: מומחי סביבה, אנשי אקדמיה, עורכי דין, מתנדבים ומומחי יחסי ציבור.
