Story

#SomethingWildforChristmas

Africa's wildlife is under threat. Poaching, illegal bush meat trade, habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict is quickly killing off big and majestic animals such as elephants, but also a range of species such as sables, pangolins, yellow baboons, vervet monkeys and many more. If we don't do something about it, much of Africa's unique wildlife will be but a memory for coming generations. 

Game Rangers International (GRI) is a Zambian organisation working to protect the country's amazing wildlife. Through support to law-enforcement and anti-trafficking, animal welfare, community outreach and education, research and policy work, GRI aims to secure Zambia's unique eco-systems and preserve the wildlife in them. 

You can be a part of this vital work!
