WORLD RANGER DAY CAMPAIGN 2025

Rangers risk their lives every day to protect endangered species and wild places. But they can’t do it without the right boots, gear, and training. On this #WorldRangerDay please help us raise $40,000 to support the rangers of KwaZulu-Natal. And thanks to a generous $20,000 match from our friends at ShineMaker Foundation, your gift will go twice as far, if made by July 31st.

 
 

DONATE WHERE IT’S NEEDED MOST

Your donation will be used where it is most urgently needed - based on reserve manager requests across the region.

 
 
 

SUPPORT BOOTS & UNIFORMS

Rangers often walk many kilometers a day across rugged terrain to protect wildlife. Good quality boots and sturdy uniforms aren’t just a matter of comfort - they’re a matter of safety and readiness.

 

FUND TOOLS & EQUIPMENT

From torches to radios, camping tents to sleeping bags, and backpacks to laptops, these are the tools rangers rely on every day. Your contribution will equip rangers with the essentials needed to track wildlife, deter poachers, and ensure the safety of protected areas.

 
 
 

SPONSOR RANGER TRAINING

Poaching is evolving - and so is the way we fight it. Your donation will help us cover the costs of a 5-day Wildlife Crime Scene Investigative Techniques course that we’re co-hosting. This program empowers rangers and law enforcement officers with forensic skills that lead to more convictions and stronger protection for rhinos, pangolins, and other species at risk.

DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT

From now until August 1st, our friends at the Shinemaker Foundation are matching every donation dollar for dollar up to $20,000! This means your support will go TWICE AS FAR in helping our rangers. Thanks to their incredible generosity, we have the chance to raise $40,000 for ranger support in 2025!

Donate by World Ranger Day to have your gift matched and double your impact! Let’s work together to equip our rangers with the resources they need to succeed!
