PROJECT 1: SHOES for rangers
#SHOESforrangers
SA WILDLIFE COLLEGE - FIELD RANGER LAW ENFORCEMENT
STUDENTS TRAINING SHOES COLLECTION
The Southern African Wildlife College (http://wildlifecollege.org.za/) is based adjacent to the Kruger National Park, and has trained over 18 000 field rangers and conservationists.
Two of their keystone courses are Field Ranger Law Enforcement –
Unarmed and Field Ranger Law Enforcement – Armed.
These candidates are on the front lines in the fight against wildlife crime.
Many of the candidates who attend are unable to afford basic field gear, like training shoes.
What are the outcomes we are chasing?
Give it Horns aims to collect used sneakers, as well as collect monetary donations of R20,000, to purchase new sneakers and field boots, for at least 50 ranger trainees, twice a year.

WILD RESPONSE & SOLDIERS FOR WILDLIFE
BASE OF OPERATIONS
Wild Response (https://wildresponse.org/) and Soldiers
for Wildlife (www.soldiersforwildlife.org) focus
on training, advising, and assisting wildlife rangers worldwide in the
fight against the illegal wildlife trade.
Both organisations are based on the Olifants West Reserve, which forms part of the Greater Kruger Park Game Reserve – also based on this property are the ladies-only anti-poaching unit, The Black Mambas
Wild Response and Soldiers for Wildlife will train the ladies in order to improve and
broaden their skill sets, and ultimately the effectiveness of The Black
Mambas, as well as overseeing the patrols of the fence lines and landscape.
What are the outcomes we
are chasing?
The base of
operations will require furnishing and outfitting – we aim to raise
R100 000 in order to assist in kitting out the house for Wild
Response and Soldiers for Wildlife, and their
visiting specialist trainers, who may spend months there at a time.

PROJECT 2: R.A.M.P Med-Kits
WILD RESPONSE &
SOLDIERS FOR WILDLIFE
R.A.M.P (RANGER ADVANCED MEDICAL
PROGRAM) MEDICAL TRAUMA KITS
Wild Response (https://wildresponse.org/)
and Soldiers for Wildlife (www.soldiersforwildlife.org) provide medical trauma training
to rangers in the Greater Kruger Area in order to greatly enhance the safety
and lifesaving abilities of the ranger force, as well as bringing lifesaving
skills to the rangers’ families and communities (through their newly acquired
skills).
In the last 12
months, 170 rangers have been trained, and 90 medical trauma kits have been
donated at nine locations / units.
What are the
outcomes we are chasing?
A US-based
company supplies the medical
kits to Wild Response, and as these are priced in US dollars, we are raising
funds to subsidise the purchases of these kits. Currently, the cost of each
pack and to get it to South Africa, is US $35 (approximately ZAR525)
Give it Horns aims to collect monetary donations of R78,750, to purchase 15 of these kits.
PAYFAST DONATIONS
