While maintaining a steadfast focus on species conservation, Sahara Conservation wants to emphasize on the need for scaled up, landscape-level approaches, that integrate wildlife conservation with the realities of human development. The unpredictable climate and the natural sparsity of natural resources in desert ecosystems mean that both humans and wildlife require access to vast spaces to prosper, virtually excluding the possibility of viable wildlife-only areas.
