In 2015, 193 UN General Assembly members adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a set of 17 interconnected objectives aimed at ending poverty, fighting inequality, and addressing climate change.Significant progress is still needed to meet the 2030 targets. Solutions aligned with the SDGs play a crucial role in driving and measuring global progress.
Thanks to the holistic nature of Wildlife Works’ conservation model, all of our projects support at least nine SDGs.
We are especially proud that the Kasigau Corridor REDD+ Project contributes to 13 SDGs. Read impact stories on our blog.
