These ecosanctuary projects aim to protect our native ecosystems and fit the definition of what we call a sanctuary. Being listed here doesn’t imply an association with SONZI, and our definition unavoidably leaves out many other valuable conservation projects. If you think your project should be listed, please let us know.
