WOULD YOU TAKE A GREAT TREK CHALLENGE TO PROTECT AFRICA’S WILDLIFE? If your answer is yes, this is for you! Walk With Rangers invites you to join 3 pairs of extraordinary boots on the ground, to make change happen, one step at a time! The 15–day trek, split into a 9-day route and a 6-day route, will be an exciting expedition in support of a critical cause: fighting the elephant poaching crisis in Kenya and Tanzania. Every 15 minutes, an elephant is silenced forever, shot with an AK-47, speared with a poisoned arrow, or fed toxic fruit to end it’s majestic life for ivory- if the slaughter continues at this rate they will be extinct very soon. Their faces hacked off to obtain the object of desire for the insatiable market in China, East Africa’s elephants are being gunned down by the herd; but there s hope yet! Recent insights reveal that law enforcement is most effective at ground level- ‘boots on the ground’ have had a direct impact on the heightened protection of these gentle giants. Local communities are continually engaged by rangers and community scouts to see the value of wildlife and to learn more about how the poaching crisis is affecting whole ecosystems and water catchment areas. Now, you can help these community scouts further their efforts! Your participation will not only help boost morale within the wildlife forces on the frontlines of the battle against poaching, but will also help fund critical ground support units to enhance operations in remote areas of the land. HOW YOUR TREK WILL SAVE WILDLIFE: We request that you launch your own fundraiser on a crowdfunding platform or through your family and friends; aimed at raising funds to help us launch an anti-poaching unit for Kenya and a mobile veterinary unit for Tanzania. Please aim to raise at least $500 or more, but any amount will be accepted with gratitude! Alternatively, you can direct sponsors and willing donors to our existing platform on this link. ( bit.ly/1gWAmBt ) PREREQUISITES: Participants must be reasonably fit and able to walk up to 17 miles per day. The terrain is relatively flat, however the ground can be rough as we will be walking along wildlife trails primarily and through thick bush. The maximum daily temperatures range from 85° F during the day and 50° F at night.
