The Israel Nature and Parks Authority (INPA) is a governmental body charged with the protection of nature, landscape and heritage in Israel. To carry out these functions properly, the INPA has three main goals:

1. Protection of biodiversity, ecosystems and landscapes in national parks, nature reserves and open spaces.

2. Protection of heritage sites in national parks and nature reserves and fostering them for the benefit of visitors.

3. Education to instill the values of protection of nature, landscape and heritage sites and to increase public awareness of these issues.

The INPA conducts surveys and studies on an on-going basis to assess the status of flora and fauna throughout the country. Each year a count is made of gazelles, aquatic birds and raptors, and other animals, and INPA field personnel take samples of wild plants for assessment. In the Adullam reserve, the INPA maintains an ecological research station for long-term studies, which is connected to a network of international stations.
