Our Consortium:

We are a consortium of public, private, governmental and non-governmental institutions dedicated to supporting the conservation of Sudan’s Marine National Parks. We seek to promote the protection and sustainable management of marine biodiversity and habitats while ensuring local community involvement and benefits. By acting collaboratively as responsible stewards for these parks, we aim to help strengthen efforts to preserve and safeguard Sudanese natural heritage now and for future generations.
