I am so pleased to repost this video from Conservation Warriors, a conservation organization that Rob was instrumental in creating — and one that he and I proudly support together.
Our colleague, Collins Ochumbe, leads this incredible organization with a mission to educate East Africa’s youth about the importance of their ecology, wildlife, and the opportunity — and responsibility — they have to protect it.
Together, we have several active initiatives underway, including a recent drive to provide new boots for the Rangers of the Maasai Mara. One of our safari groups helped make that possible, and I want to say thank you again to everyone who contributed.
Other ongoing initiatives include tree-planting efforts to help reforest national parks and preserves, teaching and coaching rangers in first aid and life-saving techniques, outfitting them with first-aid and medic kits, and exploring the best ways to promote biofencing — the practice of installing beehives around crop fields to deter elephants from destroying crops while also helping pollinate them.
It is a beautiful win/win: protecting communities, supporting farmers, helping elephants, and strengthening the fragile relationship between people and wildlife.
And there is so much more to come.
Rob, I, and Wanderful Tanzania are proud to stand beside Conservation Warriors and grateful for the work they are doing on the ground every day.
