Connected Conservation Foundation

Connected Conservation Foundation (CCF) works to protect wildlife and natural ecosystems, empowering community-led conservation through technology. Working towards the global ambition to protect 30% of the planet by 2030, CCF has so far channelled $12 million worth of vital technologies, helping protected areas secure and use the appropriate technologies to stop poaching, prevent human-wildlife conflict, reduce habitat loss and sustainably manage natural resources for both wildlife and local people. Our projects support field teams working in some of the most hostile and untamed regions, equipping protected areas with digital tools and connecting 5,600,000 hectares across 29 conservancies in Kenya, South Africa, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, Thailand and Papa New Guinea. Our work supports the restoration and protection of over 35 threatened species, including black and white rhinos, African elephants, pangolins, leopards, lions, hippos, cheetahs, wild dogs, hirola, brown hyenas, and the southern ground hornbill. By 2030, through technology, we aspire to protect 10 million hectares of habitat and to conserve over 50+ threatened species, whilst enhancing the livelihoods of local people living in and around conservancies.
