Ranger Training & Reserve Support
Project Purpose: Empowering rangers and strengthening reserve security through specialist training, essential equipment, and targeted support. By improving skills, boosting morale, and providing the tools needed to stay one step ahead of poachers, Project Rhino ensures that frontline defenders and reserves are equipped to protect endangered wildlife and safeguard our natural heritage.
Rangers stand on the frontline every day
Being a ranger is not just a job - it is a calling. But it comes with immense challenges. Hundreds of rangers are injured or killed in the line of duty each year. Despite these challenges, they remain deeply committed to safeguarding our natural heritage, but they cannot do it alone.
Life-threatening risks
Facing heavily armed poachers and dangerous wildlife while protecting reserves and endangered species.
Harsh working conditions
Enduring extreme weather, long patrols and unforgiving terrain in remote protected areas.
Personal sacrifice
Spending weeks away from their families while guarding vulnerable wildlife populations.
Under-resourced teams
Many teams operate without adequate gear, vehicles, technology or specialist support.
Practical support where it matters most
Field rangers and anti-poaching teams are the first line of defence and need on-going support to maintain morale and improve their skills and abilities in the face of heavily armed poaching gangs. Project Rhino targets 100 rangers per annum by delivering formal accredited skills training and in-field mentorship.
We also provide equipment and resources to private, community-owned and state game reserves, helping improve intra-reserve communications and integrated responses to poaching incidents.
