Why ForRangers?
At the frontline of conservation are the rangers—the unsung heroes who risk their lives daily to defend endangered wildlife from poaching, habitat loss, and conflict. Their work is tough, dangerous, and often under-resourced.
ForRangers was created to change that.
​
To date, ForRangers has raised over $5 million to support the welfare of rangers working in 62 protected areas across 14 African countries.
​
The charity provides critical support, including:
-
Durable, high-quality field gear and uniforms
-
Medical care, life insurance & emergency assistance
-
Training and professional development
-
Aerial surveillance, canine units & communications support
-
Improved ranger accommodation and facilities
-
​
By improving ranger welfare, ForRangers strengthens the foundation of conservation—ensuring wildlife is protected, communities are engaged, and ecosystems thrive.
The ForRangers Ultra
Conservation Meets Adventure

Held in Laikipia’s remote wildlife conservancies, this 230 km self-supported race challenges participants to traverse wild terrain inhabited by elephants, lions, rhinos, and more—guarded by the very rangers the event supports.
