SCF's Mission

Wildlife, habitats, people
SCF is a young, dynamic organization with a unique mission – the conservation of the wildlife
of the Sahara and its bordering Sahelian grasslands. Our vision is of a Sahara that is well con-
served and managed, in which 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.
The power of partnership
To implement its mission, SCF forges partnerships between people, governments, the world
zoo and scientific communities, international conventions, NGOs and donor agencies. A powerful network with a common goal – the conservation of deserts and their unique natural and cultural heritage. People working together to share their commitment, resources, skills and enthusiasm.
