Summary
There is no other group better placed to protect and restore biodiversity than wildlife rangers. Unfortunately, many rangers working in challenging and dangerous conditions lack appropriate experience, and networks to achieve their conservation targets safely and effectively. Existing training programs are often expensive, generic, and delivered within inappropriately short timeframes, resulting in a cycle of retraining. LEAD Ranger breaks this cycle by delivering practical training that upskills rangers, develops their leadership
capacity, and reduces ranger casualties in the field.
