The Wilderness Project
By 2030, in partnership with local communities, governments, researchers and NGOs, The Wilderness Project aims to explore, study and better protect 1.2 million square kilometres of irreplaceable African wilderness. Central to this effort is to establish detailed baselines of the largely undocumented sources and watersheds of Africa’s greatest river basins – Okavango, Zambezi, Congo, Nile, Chad and Niger. We will do this by following the Great Spine of Africa (GSoA), the geographical linkage between the water towers that feed sub-Saharan Africa.
