Run for Rangers, Race for Wildlife…

** WE WOULD LOVE YOU TO JOIN OUR TEAM! **

Team “Rangers in the UK” is raising funds in 2023 to support the Ranger Community in Africa who are protecting wildlife and conserving invaluable wilderness areas.

Running a 10k? Cooking some goodies for the office? Cleaning the beach? Whatever you’re doing, You can join us! Show your support and run, walk, bake, dance, carwash, whatever you'd like to, do it for wildlife with your own community of ranger supporters from wherever you are in the world! Now is the time to go the extra mile to support our team!

Thank you to all those who have already donated and helped towards a successful Wildlife Ranger Challenge 2023! The international event was held in September, with thousands of rangers from across the African continent undertaking a gruelling half-marathon Challenge whilst carrying 22kg (10kg for women’s teams) in the intense African heat – a weight equivalent to an average fully packed flight check-in suitcase.

The Wildlife Ranger Challenge, organised by Tusk Trust each year, celebrates Rangers’ many roles, and is raising much-needed funds to support their arduous, dangerous and around the clock patrol effort.

Role of Rangers

Rangers are Africa’s unsung heroes. They don’t just fight poaching – they are conservationists, teachers, community support workers, leaders and much more. The Rangers that we support in the Zambezi Valley carry out their patrol across contiguous wildlife protected areas of 12,282 sq km, under threat from illegal poaching, deforestation, mining and encroachment

Where your Donation Goes

Your contribution to “Rangers in the UK” will support Rangers who patrol in Zimbabwe’s wildlife rich Zambezi Valley’s protected areas. Every dollar raised through JustGiving will earn a 25% match.

Our Africa-based partner is The Tashinga Initiative Trust supports conservation efforts across Zimbabwe's Zambesi Valley, including 6 x Wildlife Ranger Challenge 2023 ZimParks Widlife Ranger Challenge teams.

Tashinga Initiative will ensure that your donation will go towards Rangers’ patrol needs such as deployment, patrol kit, training, food security, communication devices. You will be helping these communities succeed and ultimately turn the tide of the war on wildlife!
