273 pairs of AR8’s arrive at the Addo Elephant National Park🐘

Just outside Gqeberha, Addo was founded in 1931 to save the last elephants in the region and has grown into South Africa’s third largest and one of its most ambitious national parks. More than 600 elephants roam its valleys, but the park’s significance stretches far beyond their famous grey giants.💪

Today the park protects and spans five biomes, the rangers walk 10–25 km daily through thick bush, rocky terrain and harsh weather all while removing snares, tracking poachers and protecting wildlife.😇

Comfort = better patrols = stronger conservation this is achieved with their Jim Green boots on foot that can handle Addo’s tough, demanding grounds 🏜️

“The reason I joined is for the love of nature and to protect these animals for future generations.” A few words from Elvis Shabangu who has 25 years of service at the park.🫡

Another Boots for Rangers Donation Drop💪

Right in the middle of a major poaching corridor between Durban, Johannesburg, and Mozambique, Nambiti Private Game Reserve hasn’t lost a single rhino in over a year, which is quite the feat in South Africa.🦏

How they managed to do this was through a powerful local community that owns the land and protects it like family.

Every ranger comes from the surrounding villages. Their families live just beyond the fence of the reserve and whether they patrol on motorbikes, foot or in rapid response vehicles, they’re not just guarding wildlife… they’re safeguarding their own future and home.🙏

With daily fence checks, smart monitoring, strong morale and their fresh African Ranger boots on foot, this 19-man unit has turned the tide on poaching in the area.🥾
