In 2020, we launched our Ranger Relief initiative to support the extraordinary men and women who daily put their lives on the line to protect Africa’s wildlife. The wellbeing of wild places depends on these brave individuals on the front line of conservation, so it is our duty, in turn, to support them, their families and communities.

Thanks to our donors, since the launch of the campaign, we have contributed the following;

• Anti-Poaching Unit salary protection for 10 APU members.
• Commitment to build kitchen and feed kids at a community crèche in KwaZulu Natal (in partnership with Wild Tomorrow Fund)
• 3 x rangers employed to protect critically endangered black rhino, Munu
• 2 x community rangers awarded full scholarships at the South African Wildlife College
• Support of two K-9 Units – salaries, veterinary supplies and costs and dog food at Care For Wild and Rhino Pride Foundation
• Equipment and supplies to 3 rhino orphanages around South Africa (Hydration Packs, Headlamps, Binoculars, Torches, Clothing (socks, gloves, scarves, pants, jackets)
• Fed 80 Masai households during COVID in Kenya.

The ranger recipients of our donations: Care For Wild, uThukela Marine Reserve, Hluhluwe Imfolozi Park, Manyoni / Zululand Conservation Trust, and the Zululand Rhino Orphanage.

This year, 2021, we aim to continue our support and provide funding and essential gear to those rangers in public and private reserves who are struggling during the Covid-19 pandemic.
