Summary
We believe ranger are the key to global conservation. Unfortunately, many rangers lack appropriate experience and networks to operate safely in dangerous locations and achieve their conservation targets. Existing training offerings are often expensive, generic, and delivered within inappropriately short timeframes, resulting in a cycle of retraining. LEAD Ranger delivers practical and effective training that upskills rangers, develops their leadership capacity, and reduces ranger casualties in the field. We embed training capacity in-situ, enabling local teams to self-regulate their operations.
