Tashinga Initiative - Chirundu Task Force - Wildlife Ranger Challenge 2024

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 21st September 2024, the campaign raises vital funds for Africa's biodiversity guardians.

Tashinga Initiative - Chirundu Task Force Rangers based in Rifa Safari Area (600 sq.km) operate in and form part of the patrol effort across the beautiful and wild landscape that makes up Rifa Concession. 

Rangers protect territorial integrity, undertake biological monitoring, conservation management, community relations and manage equipment, resources and tourism. Rangers patrol in rugged and remote conditions, including boat patrols of approximately 70kms of the Zambezi River between Chirundu and the famous Kariba Dam Wall.

WRC Grants have addressed food security through the provision of monthly dry food hampers, the provision of ranger patrol kit, the maintenance of daily field-based and law enforcement operations, thus enhancing morale and efficacy. WRC 2024 will continue providing those monthly, all-important patrol food hampers, Rangers are operationalised with appropriate patrol kit and Rangers’ morale is strengthened through the provision of RangerProtect life insurance cover.

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