The CWF Shumbas 2025 - Hwange, Zimbabwe

HNP, Zimbabwe’s largest protected area spanning over 14 000 km², forms part of the Kavango-Zambezi (KAZA) Transfrontier Conservation Area (TCA), an important stronghold for wildlife in Southern Africa.

Our mission is to see communities, wildlife and wild habitats in this vital landscape thrive in harmonious coexistence. The 200 000 hectare area we cover comprises of national forests, communal areas and privately owned ranches and acts as a buffer zone between the park and the community, which means that as a team of only 19 rangers we have a lot of ground to cover!

Rangers are Africa’s unsung heroes. They hold diverse roles as conservationists, teachers, community support workers, leaders and much more.

The Wildlife Ranger Challenge, organised by Tusk, is a celebration of solidarity, connection and camaraderie for the ranger profession. Culminating on 20th September 2025, the campaign raises vital funds for Africa's biodiversity guardians.

Give today and the Scheinberg Relief Fund will match every dollar donated, amplifying your impact. Join us in speaking up #ForWildlifeRangers
