Save Valley Conservancy - Wildlife Ranger Challenge 2026

Across Zimbabwe’s southeast Lowveld, the SVC stands as one of the world’s largest private sanctuaries for biodiversity. Here, endangered black and white rhinos, painted wolves, and iconic wildlife find refuge.

Rangers are Africa’s unsung heroes. Far more than anti-poaching patrols, these men and women hold diverse roles as conservationists, teachers, community support workers, and leaders. They work tirelessly, monitoring wildlife, tracking ecosystem dynamics, and partnering with neighbouring communities through education and alternative livelihood programmes to ensure that people and wildlife thrive together.

The TUSK WRC is a celebration of solidarity, connection, and camaraderie for the ranger profession. WRC funding has been a transformative force. Previous support directly boosted ranger welfare through fair salary increments, the provision of new uniforms that instil professional pride, the purchase of motorbikes, and the restoration of crucial fleet vehicles to navigate our rugged terrain.

Double Your Impact for 2026

As environmental pressures mount, our rangers need uninterrupted backing. Your support for 2026 will directly fund:

1. 1. Rapid Response Capabilities: Keeping mobile security units and motorbikes deployment-ready.
   2. Essential Ranger Welfare: Ensuring guardians remain fully equipped, insured, and compensated.
   3. World-Class Field Training: Maintaining top-tier tactical and ecological standards.
   4. Community Coexistence: Expanding education and conflict mitigation initiatives.

Give today, and the Scheinberg Relief Fund will match every single dollar donated, doubling your impact to equip, protect, and empower frontline rangers.
