Uniting to Support Africa’s Rangers
Covid-19 has brought tourism revenues across Africa to a halt, leaving a huge deficit in conservation funding. Wildlife Rangers are now uniting around the Wildlife Ranger Challenge, a race with one goal: to raise money to support thousands of rangers and protect iconic African wildlife such as elephants, pangolins, rhinos, and lions.
Now is the time to go the extra mile—it’s time to race to support Wildlife Rangers.
One Incredible Day
Thank you to the 2,000 rangers across 20 countries in Africa and the 2,000 supporters from 80 countries throughout the world who have taken on the Wildlife Ranger Challenge.
Your support means greater security, stability and resourcing for the ranger sector in Africa and a brighter future for the wildlife they protect.
You can still support wherever you are in the world and at whatever time, between now and 31 October 2020. Donations will also be accepted – and matched until then.
