The Wildlife Ranger Challenge

The Wildlife Ranger Challenge, empowered by Tusk, is the world’s largest celebration of solidarity, support, and fundraising for the ranger profession. More than 100 teams of rangers spanning the African continent compete every year in a series of challenges through June-September, culminating in a coordinated 21km race across their respective protected areas. Once again, APW-support Community Game Scouts won the 2024 race and plan to participate in 2025. Join us this year!
