Impact
Our work aligns with five of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals
Our Efforts to Achieve Sustainable Development Goals
Gender Equality
Our commitment is to empower women through leadership, business operations, conservation investment, partnerships, and research associations. Supporting women in our organisation strengthens the community and creates opportunities for them to contribute to conservation efforts and play a prominent role in conservation programs.
Decent Work and Economic Growth
Conserving species in a biodiversity hotspot fosters various national economic opportunities. It promotes biodiversity conscious tourism, scientific research, and other sustainable biodiversity uses, driving sustainable economic growth and job creation. This benefits local communities and indigenous populations residing in the region of conservation areas.
Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
We leverage the natural infrastructure of the Annamite Mountains region, through research and conservation, to strengthen the national biodiversity conservation, scientific and education work sectors, through all levels of national civil society and government. Our effort will not only enhance Annamite conservation but can be a nucleus for regional and even global innovation through our mission to strategically fill gaps and maximise long-term biodiversity conservation gains, by objectively measurable goals and equitable allocation of resources across all Threatened biodiversity.
Life on Land
Life on land is intricately interconnected, serving as the bedrock for a thriving, species rich terrestrial ecosystem that is vital for human wellbeing in ways we are only starting to fully understand. Our primary objective is to save the Saola and other species imminently facing extinction, along with their ‘home’, the species rich forests of the Annamite Mountain region. This endeavour will aid stabilisation and restoration of robust and resilient natural ecosystems in the Annamites region, paving the way toward future where both human communities and a species rich natural world can prosper harmoniously.
Partnerships for The Goals
The Saola Foundation unites businesses, NGOs, and governments to advance collaboration, forge global partnerships, and enhance capabilities in science, technology, and innovation. Together, we aim to drive nature positive change and ensure sustainable progress by integrating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework. Our efforts encompass crafting nature-aligned investments for the collective benefit of all people.
