Borana Conservancy – Kenya
My story
Rangers are Africa’s unsung heroes. They hold diverse roles as conservationists, teachers, community support workers, leaders and much more.
The Wildlife Ranger Challenge, organised by Tusk, is a celebration of solidarity, connection and camaraderie for the ranger profession. culminating on 16th September 2023, the campaign raises vital funds for Africa's biodiversity guardians.
Lion Landscapes - Borana Conservancy is dedicated to the sustainable conservation of land and wildlife. Our holistic approach commits tourism, ranching, and other enterprises to building local livelihoods and enhancing ecosystem integrity.
Borana Conservancy is proud to report zero poaching incidents over eight years. This is in huge part due to the dedication and commitment of the team of over 130 rangers who work tirelessly year round to protect the conservancy’s wildlife and habitat. We remain extremely grateful to their hard work and dedication to Borana and its wildlife.

Support a unique conservation initiative empowering and uniting wildlife rangers across Africa.
May 11, 2023, 1:58:43 PMWildlife rangers operate on the very frontline of conservation across Africa, routinely making personal sacrifices to put their lives on the line to protect the continent’s magnificent wildlife and habitats. Yet they are so much more than just law enforcement officers: rangers are teachers, community support workers, mediators, researchers and so much more. Unfortunately, resources are not keeping pace with the scale of the challenges they are trying to tackle. For the fourth year running, the Wildlife Ranger Challenge sets out to redress this, by raising critical funding to cover operating costs, including salaries and equipment, for over 10,000 rangers. This will help them protect threatened wildlife and some of the continent's most vulnerable areas, while also protecting communities and securing coexistence with wildlife, as well as providing for their own families.
