Why is ForRangers partnered with Save the Rhino International?
ForRangers is a fundraising initiative (also referred to as a campaign), not a formal charity. This helps the initiative to remain financially lean, sending as much funding as possible to rangers. The founders of ForRangers, Sam Taylor and Pete Newland, have worked alongside Save the Rhino for many years. Save the Rhino supports ForRangers to send and receive grants, communicate with its audience, and also is a partner in the For Rangers Ultra.
