GWC works to ensure rangers are adequately trained, supported and respected across the world. They are charged with preventing biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation. They work under a diversity of environmental conditions spanning the climates, ecosystems, and landscapes of our planet. A ranger’s work can be dangerous: they face disease, injury, extreme weather, and even death.
To bolster the efforts of rangers protecting wildlife from poaching, Global Wildlife Conservation supports the Tashinga Initiative Trust, a wildlife protection trust that operates in partnership with Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management.
GWC, with partners, is committed to increasing ranger training, and improving their working and employment conditions.
