Where We Work:

Ethiopia

Wildlife trafficking, habitat degradation, and limited access to quality education all pose obstacles to conservation in Ethiopia. We support counter-wildlife-trafficking work in hotspots around Addis Ababa, and we help protect the distinctive highland ecosystem of the Simien Mountains through livelihood projects and other activities.
