I am taking part in the Wildlife Ranger Challenge to Run with Rangers and Race for Wildlife. Rangers all across Africa team up to run a half marathon in the hope to raise funds for conservation efforts across Africa. Myself along with some friends and family will participate in a 12 km run to raise awareness of the importance of rangers and the risk that they put themselves in everyday.
Rangers are Africa’s unsung heroes. They hold diverse roles as conservationists, teachers, community support workers, leaders. They patrol protected areas, prevent poaching and help engage local communities in helping with Africa’s wildlife conservation!
Every year over 150 rangers are killed by poachers while trying to protect Africa’s wildlife! We need to put a stop to this violence and these innocent deaths.
In 2023 499 rhinos were tragically killed for their horns, WWF estimates that every year over 20,000 elephants are killed by illegal poaching to illegally supply markets with ivory. Many different species have drastically decreased due to this worldwide issue, we need to act now and help save Africa’s sacred wildlife.
The Wildlife Ranger Challenge, organised by Tusk, is a celebration of solidarity, connection and camaraderie for the ranger profession, culminating on 21st September 2024, the campaign raises vital funds for Africa's biodiversity guardians.
