FORRANGERS

Combatting the African poaching crisis, one step at a time.

Founded in 2015, ForRangers was a concept developed by Sam Taylor and Peter Newland, with a view to undertaking extreme endurance events to raise funds and awareness for Africa’s rangers - everyday heroes who put their lives on the line so that our wildlife can continue to exist.

Rangers

Wildlife rangers are on the frontline of conservation. Yet, despite the importance of their work, and the dangerous situations they deal with, rangers often don't have the appropriate kit, training or support.

In the past decade, it's estimated that more than 1,000 rangers have been killed in the line of duty.

ForRangers Gaucho Derby 2022

In March 2022, co-founder of ForRangers Sam Taylor, along with Charlotte Outram and Simon Kenyon, headed to Patagonia to race in the Gaucho Derby, also known as 'the greatest test of horsemanship and wilderness skills on Earth.'

From the creators of the World's Longest Horse Race, the Mongol Derby, the Gaucho Derby is a ten-day, 500km multi-horse adventure race across the wild Patagonian landscape. Broken into 40km or less vetting legs, this epic race doesn't just test the athletes' skills on a horse but pushes them to the limit of their navigational skills, ability to handle the wilderness and physical endurance.

One mistake navigating could cost them the race with wilderness skills making all the difference as they camp out most nights. Racing hours are from 8 am to 6 pm, riders will sit out penalties in real-time, and the winner will be the first person to cross the line.

Click here to read Sam Taylor's incredible insights from this adventure.

The team raised over $120,000 to support life and health insurance, emergency rations and welfare support to over 2000 rangers across Africa. The effects of the Covid-19 pandemic continue to be felt. Rangers have seen jobs lost, resources slashed, and livelihoods destroyed. All the while, they remain steadfast in protecting what is left of our wilderness. They need our help. Please support them.
