Sahara Conservation

About us

Sahara Conservation (previously Sahara Conservation Fund) was established in 2004 to address the largely-ignored and catastrophic wave of extinction threatening the large bird and mammal fauna in Africa.

The mission of SaharaConservation is to conserve the wildlife, habitats and other natural resources of the Sahara and its bordering Sahelian grasslands.

Our vision is of a Sahara where ecological processes function naturally, with plants and animals existing in healthy numbers across their historical range; a Sahara that benefits all its inhabitants and where support for its conservation comes from stakeholders across all sectors of society.
