Rangers are the first line of defence to protect endangered specialises but in many places, there is no longer the funding for them.Travel Matters is proud to be joining the African Travel Industry in raising funds to support African Rangers and wildlife by joining #Ride4Rangers. All funds raised will go towards supporting the salaries and deployment of African Rangers during this crisis. Tusk is aiming to support 5,000 rangers over the next 6-9 months and has been established with generous match-funding, doubling the impact of every penny given. Here's how you support could help! £100 could purchase a GPS enabled camera to monitor wildlife £200 could fund a Lion Guard Rangers salary for a month, £250 could provide materials needed to build a predator-proof livestock enclosure £500 could sponsor a 4-man anti-poaching team in the field for a month.
