This week we wanted to take things back to basics and share more about the ways we bring our mission to life.

WHAT DO WE DO?

IAPF protects and restores wildlife habitat in ways that contribute both to national conservation strategies and the empowerment of indigenous communities.

We are able to take great strides towards our mission because of supporters like you. When you donate each month to IAPF you are directly investing in the protection of our natural world. You can make a difference for as little as $5 a month.

We bring our mission to life through these three key approaches which your support can help make happen:

1. International Leadership, Development, and Training

In remote, dynamic and demanding environments Rangers need access to continuous professional development by their peers, in their own language and their own workplace. We instill a culture of competence, learning and leadership in rangers by equipping them with the vital physical and mental tools they need to succeed.

滨础笔贵’蝉 LEAD Ranger program (a joint initiative of IAPF, Thin Green Line and Ranger Campus) develops wildlife crime-enforcement leaders and instructors who remain based in the ecosystems they are protecting. IAPF delivers tailored training courses and long term support through classroom and on-the-job training, mentoring, assessment and refresher courses.

OUR IMPACT

Through our LEAD Ranger program, 44 Instructors have been trained so far, that have a training reach of over 1100 rangers within their organisations. These 1100 rangers protect 14 million acres of African wilderness.

2. Gender Equality

In conservation, women are outnumbered by men in front-line roles by as much as 100:1.

By empowering rural women, the Akashinga program motivates improved healthcare, skills development, children staying in school, rape & sexual assault prevention, increased life expectancy, disease and poverty reduction and structured family planning.

OUR IMPACT

Since 2017, 滨础笔贵’蝉 Akashinga model:

• deploys 38 female rangers (with more under training),
• patrols and directly protects 463,000 acres of wilderness,
• has made 200+ arrests,
• recorded a 399% increase in wildlife encounters, and
• played a role in achieving an 80% downturn in elephant poaching in Zimbabwe's Mid-Lower Zambezi Valley.

3. Indigenous and Community-Driven Conservation

IAPF works hand-in-hand with communities that live in and alongside the wilderness we protect. We work in partnership with individuals, indigenous leaders and community groups, businesses, and government to ethically co-manage large tracts of land across southern Africa.

OUR IMPACT

We provide paid employment to locals and ensure that every Akashinga ranger we educate, train and deploy, lives in the community where she works. 62% of all operational costs of the Akashinga model go directly back to the local community, with 80% flowing through to the household level. Akashinga is not only an investment into women but their families, the development of rural communities and the protection of nature as well.

As always, your ongoing help means the world to us. You can continue your support by donating We are so grateful.
