Heartlands Conservancy

Sahara Conservation Fund is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of wildlife in the Sahara and Sahelian grasslands, as well as the preservation of the diverse landscapes necessary for their survival. They work towards rewilding Africa by focusing on key species such as the critically endangered Dama Gazelle, declining Bustards, extinct-in-the-wild Scimitar-horned Oryx, critically endangered North African Ostrich, and critically endangered Addax. Through their reserve management initiatives, Sahara Conservation Fund aims to implement sustainable landscape management models that integrate the livelihoods of local communities with wildlife conservation. They also provide humanitarian assistance to these communities and collaborate with governments, conservation organizations, and other stakeholders to promote regional action and knowledge sharing. With a focus on scaled-up, landscape-level approaches, Sahara Conservation Fund emphasizes the importance of integrating wildlife conservation with the realities of human development in the challenging desert ecosystems of the Sahara and Sahel.Generated from the website
