Deserts are not barren wastelands. They are geographically spectacular, culturally rich, and home to an amazing array of exquisitely-adapted plants and animals.
Partnership
To implement its mission, SCF forges partnerships between people, governments, the world zoo and scientific communities, international conventions, NGOs and donor agencies. People working together with a common goal: the conservation of deserts and their unique natural and cultural heritage.
The Future
To succeed, conservation must be of tangible
benefit to people, be within their power to implement
and meet their aspirations be they spiritual, aesthetic
or more down-to-earth.
Sustainability
Restoring healthy wildlife populations has major ecological, economic and social benefits whilst contributing to the diversification and strengthening of pastoral economies.
Conservation
Wildlife plays a major role in combating
desertification and habitat loss through maintaining the health and productivity of grasslands and the germination and dispersal of plants.
Our goal is an effective, credible and tightly focused program with projects based on the highest priorities. Discover SCF's action through our projects.
SCF is blessed with the loyal and generous support of a growing number of people and institutions keen to share their skills, commitment and resources for the conservation of Saharan wildlife.
Core Partners
SCF could not survive without the generous support it receives for salaries, operating costs, communications, project development, administration and duty travel.
SCF could not achieve its ambitious conservation goals without the partnerships it develops with a growing number of like-minded individuals and institutions.
It is through its field projects that SCF and its partners act directly to stem the decline of threatened species and we are particularly grateful for the support we receive to achieve this.
