On patrol across Zambia
In 2025, Game Rangers International (GRI) supported more than 285 Wildlife Rangers protecting 2.3 million hectares across Zambia.
Through welfare, training and operational support, GRI equips Rangers with the skills, resources and support they need to protect wildlife, respond to animals in need and work alongside communities.
We want to help fund this essential support for Rangers working across the Elephant Orphanage Project, Zambia Primate Project, Community Outreach and Nature Protection.

Three pillars of conservation
Through ranger welfare, training and operational support, Game Rangers International empowers Rangers to deliver lasting conservation impact across three interconnected pillars: Nature Protection, Wildlife Rescue and Community Outreach.
-
Nature Protection
Nature Protection focuses on empowering the frontline Rangers who protect wildlife against threats such as poaching, deforestation and fire as well as protecting the communities and promoting Human-Wildlife Coexistence.
-
Wildlife Rescue
The Elephant Orphanage Project rescues, rehabilitates and releases young elephants separated from their mothers and herds through human activity, while the Zambia Primate Project rescues, rehabilitates and releases primates affected by the illegal wildlife trade. Wherever possible, GRI's Wildlife Rescue Teams also respond to other wildlife in need.
-
Community Outreach
Community Outreach engages, educates, and empowers communities living alongside protected areas through conservation education, youth development and women's empowerment, helping current and future generations understand the importance of healthy, functioning ecosystems.
Research and monitoring underpin GRI's work, ensuring that interventions are evidence-based, responsive and effective.

Unless we support the communities that live and work in and around these protected areas, we will never win the fight to conserve nature
Game Management Areas
GRI focuses on the areas around national parks, in the buffer zones called Game Management Areas (GMAs) where people come into contact with wildlife. It is here, we believe, we can have the most impact and where we are seeing the largest rise in conflict between people and wildlife.
GMAs are vitally important for conservation; they form the transit routes for migrating animals and also allow the community to access and benefit from wildlife. Sadly, they have been overlooked for years.
GRI is at the forefront of this change, making sure these areas are supported and invested in.
