By 2035, The Wilderness Project plans

to collaborate with local communities

, governments, researchers, and NGOs

to explore, study, and enhance the

protection of 1.2 million square

kilometers of Africa’s invaluable

wilderness. A key focus of this initiative

is to establish comprehensive baselines

for the largely undocumented sources

and watersheds of Africa’s most

significant river basins—Okavango,

Zambezi, Congo, Nile, Chad, and Niger.

This will be achieved by tracing the

Great Spine of Africa (GSoA), which

connects the water towers sustaining

sub-Saharan Africa.
