Conservation must start with securing land, but that is only the first step. It is the boots on the ground that keep it protected over the long term.
The rangers in our partners’ reserves work tirelessly every day to safeguard some of the world’s most threatened species and habitats.
Through the Keepers of the Wild programme, you can support their vital work.
Donate today and help rangers defend every acre of protected land.
Local people providing long term protection
Keepers of the Wild supports our partner organisations to employ experienced local men and women as rangers. Successfully protecting large reserves is a difficult and unpredictable process, but rangers are a constant presence on the ground caring for these invaluable habitats.
As local people, their knowledge about the land they live and work in is vital to ensuring its protection. It enables them to think and act quickly no matter what situations they may face.
Funding Keepers of the Wild is an essential part of WLT’s commitment to every acre we have helped to protect over the last 30 years. By donating today, you will be part of this continued commitment to the natural world.
Protecting Reserves
No two days are ever the same for a ranger. Their duties include patrolling, biodiversity monitoring, preventing illegal activities like logging and poaching, and working closely with local communities. Being a ranger is a physically demanding and emotionally challenging job, which holds many risks. Every day, they face natural and human threats head-on, but their dedication is essential for the ongoing protection of land and species.
By supporting Keepers of the Wild, you will help to give rangers the tools and training they need, so they can act with conviction and confidence for the future of conservation.
The impact of your support
Dedicated rangers are actively protecting threatened land and species in our partners’ reserves in many countries all over the world, ranging from Argentina to Kenya to Pakistan.
When you donate to Keepers of the Wild, you will be supporting rangers and projects just like these.
