Welcome to SCF
The Sahara Conservation Fund
Diversity
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.
