We believe that we cannot protect wildlife, without protecting the people tasked with preserving it GRI empowers Ranger communities, and those living alongside protected areas, with improved livelihood security Our Community Outreach Rangers are directly employed from the communities in which they serve and have nurtured strong and representative local stakeholder networks who are constantly consulted to ensure that all interventions are appropriate and needed Ongoing initiatives to support communities with tangible benefits from conservation efforts include improving access to clean water, healthcare and education, and engaging at-risk youth through sports. Our key focus, however, remains on empowering vulnerable women Through the provision of capacity building, peer-support networks and essential equipment, we supported 133 women across three landscapes to initiate sustainable income generation projects in 2022, successfully reducing their reliance on the illegal wildlife trade.
