Uniting To Support Africa’s Rangers
On Saturday 16th September 2023, wildlife ranger teams united for the 2023 Wildlife Ranger Challenge, a half marathon taking place around the world with one goal: to raise money to support the men and women on the front line of Africa’s protected areas.
As well as raising money for front line conservation efforts, this pan-African sporting event aims to raise awareness of the increasingly diverse role of wildlife rangers at a time when resources are more thinly stretched than ever before.
The sense of community and comradeship demonstrated by the many rangers from across Africa participating in the Wildlife Ranger Challenge has created a united front for wildlife and the people who live and work to protect it. Mark your calendars, as come 16th September 2023, we urge you to join our dedicated rangers as they take part in the challenge to champion their work. #ForWildlifeRangers.
