From Djibouti to Singapore, Bhutan to New Zealand, in October 2020 over 2,000 supporters from 80 countries ran in solidarity with 2,000 Wildlife Rangers across 20 countries in Africa, securing over $10,000,000 USD in donations, with a match from the Scheinberg Relief Fund.
Support means greater security, stability and resourcing for 9,000 Wildlife Rangers across 21 African countries, protecting over 45 endangered species. 4,000,000 KM2 of ecosystem and 64,000 local livelihoods.
