In 2019, we launched East Africa’s first All-Women Anti-Poaching Ranger Academy and 27 female rangers have now graduated from the academy on Segera, having undergone intense selection processes, months of holistic training and field exercises. With advice from Damien Mander (Founder of IAPF) and lead by highly qualified instructors, training includes Patrol Tactics, Conservation, Community Engagement, Tracking, Drill, Law & Arrest, Canine Handling and First Aid. Rangers are also encouraged to act as mentors in their communities, empowering other women, sharing their education and promoting dialogue as a primary driver for peace, intercultural understanding and preservation.
