​This site gives you the opportunity to learn about desert areas, the process of desertification, and how low-precipitation regions can be preserved, restored and sustainably developed.

You will find descriptions of research carried out at the Jacob Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research at the Sede Boqer Campus of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, along with development works of the Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael – Jewish National Fund.

The site serves a broad spectrum of visitors. You will therefore find explanations, animations, and articles written for the public at large, along with material for academic and researchers.


Have an enjoyable visit.​​
