Support Rangers That Protect Elephants
Mara Elephant Project rangers patrol vast landscapes, working alongside government partners and the community to promote coexistence.These men and women act as the first responders and for the last 15 years are responsible for a 98% decline in elephant poaching in the Mara, and a 2,000% increase in the number of mitigated human-elephant conflict incidents.Your support is vital to equip and train these wildlife guardians.

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 19th September 2026, the campaign raises vital funds for Africa's biodiversity guardians.

Our First Supporter: The First Step for Our Rangers
Sep 9, 2026, 5:34:33 PMEvery fundraising journey begins with a first step. For the Mara Elephant Project, that step has now been taken. We are incredibly grateful to have received our first donation to our Wildlife Ranger Challenge fundraising page from someone who chose to stand behind our Rangers and the work they do to protect wildlife across the Greater Mara Ecosystem. For us, this first contribution means more than the amount given. It is a reminder that the work happening on the ground matters and that there are people willing to stand with the men and women doing it. Behind Every Ranger Is a Commitment to Wildlife Our Rangers spend their days and nights on the ground protecting wildlife, responding to threats, supporting communities and helping safeguard the landscapes that make the Greater Mara one of the world's most important wildlife ecosystems. Their work is demanding. It takes courage, resilience and an extraordinary commitment to conservation. The Wildlife Ranger Challenge gives us an opportunity to celebrate these men and women and to invite more people to stand alongside them. Now, We Need You Our first supporter has shown us that this campaign can begin with one person. Now, we are asking others to take the next step. Will you stand with our Rangers? Whether through a donation or by sharing our fundraising page with someone who cares about wildlife, your support can help us move closer to our $5,000 fundraising goal and, just as importantly, help shine a light on the people working every day to protect wildlife. One person has taken the first step. We hope you will be next. Support the Mara Elephant Project in the Wildlife Ranger Challenge. Stand with our Rangers.
