CDC celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2008, and over the years we have developed a wealth of practical conservation experience in supporting a range of organisations across eastern Africa, and beyond. Below we highlight some of the key assignments we have worked on under our four specialities, and also provide links to more of our track record.
